Southampton 2-0 Arsenal

Different year same old problems for Arsenal as 2015 opened amid the sort of defensive chaos which has become an unwelcome trademark of Arsene Wenger's team. Wojciech Szczesny was the chief culprit by the Solent, directly responsible for both goals, as Southampton strengthened their grip on a place in the top-four with a deserved victory. Szczesny abandoned his goal with a mindless charge for the first which was quite magnificently converted from a tight angle by Sadio Mane and, for the second, the keeper toed the ball straight to Dusan Tadic in another manic moment.
