Unai Emery warns Arsenal over their top four ambitions after 3-2 defeat against Southampton
Unai Emery has warned his Arsenal players they must beat teams like Southampton if they want to finish in the top four of the Premier League.A brace from Danny Ings and a 85th minute header from Charlie Austin condemned the Gunners to a 3-2 loss– their first in 22 matches.2

The Arsenal boss has warned his players about their top four ambitions

Fellow London clubs Tottenham and Chelsea both won at the weekend and occupy third and fourth respectively, and Emery knows any further blips from his side will stop them from keeping pace with their rivals.The level is very high with the other teams and if we miss out on a win like today, we cannot be in the top four because the other teams are usually winning, Emery said.We need to carry on in our way but it is not going to be easy to get into the top four.2

Charlie Austin scored the winner for Southampton

The other teams are playing at a high level and we need to be very, very demanding ourselves.After 22 matches without losing, we were still only in fifth position and that is because of the levels of the other teams.Despite two equalisers fromHenrikh Mkhitaryan at St Mary’s, Arsenal suffered their first defeat since they were beaten by the same scoreline against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in August.Arsenal will have the chance to bounce back when they face Burnley on Saturday lunchtime before a Boxing Day trip to Brighton.
