Overview
- Arsenal, which lost 2-1 at Southampton on Saturday, exited the FA Cup on an 85th‑minute strike by Shea Charles after Viktor Gyökeres canceled Ross Stewart’s opener.
- The defeat, coming two weeks after a League Cup final loss to Manchester City, ends any quadruple talk and leaves the Premier League and Champions League as the targets.
- Center-back Gabriel Magalhães left with a knee problem and was seen with ice on it, with the club set to assess him before the quarter-final first leg at Sporting CP on Tuesday.
- Mikel Arteta said his players must adapt to setbacks such as injuries and tough conditions and urged them to “show what we are made of” after defensive errors led to both goals.
- Southampton advanced to the semi-finals on a 15-match unbeaten run, while Manchester City’s 4-0 win over Liverpool and Erling Haaland’s hat trick highlighted the pressure on Arsenal’s lead in the run-in.
