Arteta says Arsenal going through 'difficult period' after stunning FA Cup loss
- On Saturday, Championship side Southampton, managed by Tonda Eckert, stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal with a 2-1 victory in the quarterfinal at St Mary's, with substitute Shea Charles scoring five minutes from time.
- Southampton, wearing commemorative yellow jerseys, marked 50 years since their 1976 Cup final win over Manchester United, while Mikel Arteta's injury-disrupted Arsenal arrived seeking redemption after a galling Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City.
- Ross Stewart opened the scoring on 35 minutes, but Viktor Gyokeres equalized for Arsenal in the 68th minute; the deadlock remained until Tom Fellows set up Charles, who coolly poked past goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the 85th minute.
- This historic result sends the second-tier side to Wembley for the semifinals, joining Manchester City and Chelsea, while Arsenal faces significant reflection after costly back-to-back Cup exits despite leading the Premier League.
- West Ham United host Leeds United on Sunday to complete the semifinal bracket, with Wembley matches set for later this month as Southampton dreams of replicating their 1976 triumph.
