Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger has lashed out at his players for their weakness in front of goal in the Gunners 0-2 EFL Cup defeat to Southampton on Wednesday.
The defeat to Southampton ended Arsenal's quest to win the league cup since Wenger took over the reign at the club.
Goals from Jordy Clasie and Ryan Bertrand saw Saints emerge 2-0 winner and earn a first League Cup semi-final in 30 years for Southampton.
Wenger made 10 changes from the weekend's 3-1 win over Bournemouth and was rewarded with the Gunners' first defeat since the opening day of the Premier League season.
"It was one of those nights where it looked like we can play for two hours and not score a goal," the Frenchman said.
"We didn't have enough urgency in the first half. We were weak in some departments and we paid for that.
"I have no regrets over selection, I regret we lost the game."
Wenger's opposite number Claude Puel was delighted with a strong display from his side, who looked far more cohesive, despite making eight changes also.
