Manchester City avoided major FA Cup embarrassment after coming from behind to beat Cheltenham Town 3-1 at The Jonny-Rocks Stadium.

Southampton 1-0 Arsenal

Scorers: Gabriel (og) 24′

Arsenal have fallen at the second hurdle of their FA Cup defence after losing 1-0 to Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.

After starting brightly, the Saints went ahead after Gabriel Magalhães diverted Kyle Walker-Peters’ cross past Bernd Leno into his own net.

Gabriel Martinelli had an excellent chance to equalise for Arsenal but mis-kicked his volley after being put through by Nicolas Pépé.

Southampton were comfortable defending from that point forward and secured victory with the sluggish visitors unable to create anything.
