Arsenal will not defend the trophy in the oldest football competition in the world - the FA Cup. Saint Mary's was better than Southampton in the round of 1 (16:1).

Although the FA Cup was his coaching debut, Mikel Arteta "shuffled" the squad, and Hazenhitl's chosen ones took advantage of that to take the lead in the 24th minute. The scorer was Arsenal's Brazilian stopper, Gabriel, who hit his own net.

"The Gunners" tried with changes in the continuation. Nketija had a zicer, but Forster saved the victory with a perfect defense.

And the referee did a bad job, since he didn't call an obvious penalty for Arsenal in the 70th minute, when Volker-Peters played with his hand.
