Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has suggested that Arsenal will face an “incredibly tough” challenge in their quest to win the Premier League, following their 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final loss to Southampton.
The Saints took the lead through Ross Stewart, before Arsenal’s substitute Viktor Gyokeres leveled the score at St Mary’s Stadium. However, Shea Charles came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the 85th minute.

Despite the setback, Arsenal still have two major competitions to contest—the Premier League and the Champions League. In the league, they remain nine points ahead of Manchester City with seven games remaining.
Shearer questioned the potential “mental” effect of the FA Cup exit on Mikel Arteta’s squad, telling Betfair: “After Arsenal got knocked out of the FA Cup, it will be incredibly tough for them, mentally, to go on and achieve what they want to achieve.”
