'Another week of Unai Emery' - The Arsenal fans wishing Lacazette didn't score vs Southampton

It is now no wins in five Premier League games for Unai Emery and Arsenal.

And the pressure on the Spaniard is only mounting.

Alexandre Lacazette was the hero for the Gunners on Saturday, saving Arsenal from complete embarrassment against struggling Southampton.

The Saints were the  better team throughout at the Emirates Stadium and should have taken all three points home. They had to settle for just one though, after Lacazette notched his second goal of the game in the 95th minute, levelling the scores for the second time in north London.

It was another disappointing performance from Emery's side and leaves them seven points outside of the Champions League places ahead of the clash between Chelsea and Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Boos rang around the Emirates after the final whistle sounded, with the supporters making their feelings heard.

Emery was handed a vote of confidence by the board, with Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesham stating that they believed Emery was the right man to lead them forward.

But the supporters clearly have a different view.

And as well as venting their anger inside the stadium at the final whistle, they have done similarly on social networking site Twitter.

Many have even suggested that Lacazette saved Emery's job for another week, with suggestions that supporters might have preferred them to lose, if it meant Emery losing his job as a result.

The next few days around Arsenal will be interesting to say the least.

And Emery's post-match press conference could be entertaining too. Follow that .
