10 worst Arsenal games of the 2012/13 season
After a look at the best games and best goals of the season, here is a look at the worst games of the season for Arsenal.
10. Southampton 1-1 Arsenal, Premier League, St. Mary’s, 1st January 2013
(Southampton - Ramirez 34; Arsenal - do Prado (O.G) 41))
The Gunners were jotting together a decent run, after a mixed first half of the season. The game was on the back of four back-to-back Premier League wins, 2-0 against West Brom, 5-2 at Reading, 1-0 at Wigan and an epic 7-3 against Newcastle. However, they came unstuck with a putrid performance against a bustling Saints side. The South Coast side were the more dominant side in this game and took the lead through their record signing Gaston Ramirez, after a series of comical schoolboy errors from Arsenal. However, Arsenal were level 7 minutes later, when Julian do Prado guided the ball into the back of his own net off a Walcott free kick. Arsenal’s performance was symbolized by Gervinho theatrically stumbling to the ground like a pack of cards with no contact whatsoever.
