The final whistle at the Emirates on Tuesday evening was greeted with a chorus of boos by the home contingent, as Arsenal were held in a stalemate with Southampton—thanks in large part to a standout performance from Fraser Forster. The result may have jeopardised the Gunners' title aspirations, and it inspired a series of damning stats on Twitter:
