Alexis Sanchez was criticised for his overall performance despite the assist

Arsenal lost ground in the Premier League race for the top four as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. Charlie Austin gave the home side the lead as early as the third minute to make things difficult for Arsene Wenger's side.

Fraser Forster denied the Gunners a couple of times as the visitors dominated possession and it took a late Olivier Giroud header to give the north London side a point. The result sees them now sitting in fifth place - a point ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley.

Here's how Twitter reacted to the game.

Charlie Austin got the Saints off to a perfect start. And he continued to be a menacing presence as Arsenal played a high line.

Alexis Sanchez was criticised for a poor performance - even though he eventually got the assist for the equaliser.

After conceding, Arsenal struggled to break down Southampton who were resolute in defence.

But super-sub Olivier Giroud was on hand to provide a late equaliser. The Frenchman scored for the Gunners in the 88th minute to ensure they came away with a point.
