Clyne keeps Saints on march

Many, including Arsene Wenger, had expected Saints to implode after a summer in which they lost manager Mauricio Pochettino and a host of key players. However, Ronald Koeman’s side continue to confound the doubters and won a fifth successive match in all competitions at a sold-out Emirates, where 5,000 visiting fans roared Southampton on against the much-changed Gunners.
Wenger called Saints “miracle workers” in the build-up to the third-round tie, which looked likely a particularly tall order when Alexis Sanchez fired home a wonderful 25-yard free-kick with just 14 minutes on the clock.
