Arsene Wenger was confronted by an angry fan towards the end of his side’s defeat by Southampton.


Stewards hauled him away from in front of Wenger and assistant manager Steve Bould and he was later arrested. Southampton believe the man was an Arsenal fan who had bought a ticket among the home supporters but Wenger claimed it was a Saints fan and that he did not hear what was shouted at him.


‘It was a young boy,’ said the Arsenal manager.


‘I think he was a Southampton fan. He was not aggressive at all. I don’t think he said anything.’


But the man, wearing a purple hoodie, jeans and white trainers, clearly gesticulated at Wenger and Bould. Last month a group of Arsenal supporters, angered by defeat at Stoke, booed and swore at Wenger as he waited to board a train back to London.


The defeat yesterday left them sixth, three points behind Southampton in fourth.


Delighted Southampton manager Ronald Koeman said: ‘I don’t like to talk about mistakes of the opponent but the second goal was maybe a New Year present.’


Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski is set to join Inter Milan on loan, with a view to a £6million permanent move, in a deal expected to be completed this weekend. – Daily Mail
