That's full time. Arsenal looked like they were the better side in the opening stages of the first half, but collapsed when Southampton broke the deadlock. They were wretched in the second half, and Southampton deserved their second goal - Arsenal can count themselves lucky it wasn't more.
90+3'
A minute left. Koeman applauds the fans - he knows this is over.
90+1'
Reed aims a ball forward down the right wing for Long to chase, but he's offside. Southampton are not interested in closing down the game.
90'
There will be four more minutes of this.
88'
Some showboating from Wanyama, and it's an indictment of Arsenal that none of their players will get vengeance for it.

Long is on for Tadic.
A pitch invader rushes onto the pitch to taunt Wenger to his face, either an Arsenal or Southampton fan, it's not clear which.

Akpom on for Debuchy.

Pelle loses the ball in the box, and Arsenal try to come forward, but the move breaks down.
80'
Davis finds Ward-Prowse's run into the box, but he stumbles with the chance and the danger passes for a moment.

Oxlade-Chamberlain drills in a shot from distance that Forster saves well.
76'
Arsenal seem to have given up. Poor stuff from them in the second half.

Coquelin clatters into Reed, and uses his forearm into the face, as the two challenge for a high ball. A yellow card for Coquelin.
73'
There are goals literally everywhere right now.

Yoshida comes on for Gardos.

Ward-Prowse rises to a cross from the left, but he can't get enough power on his effort to beat Szczesny.

Sanchez beats the wall and his free kick skids over the top of the net.

Yellow card for Gardos. He is through on goal, almost, until Gardos cleans him outside the box, and although a defender was also close, it could have been a red.

More garbage from Arsenal. Koscielny's backpass is dreadful, and Szczesny can't get out quickly enough, Tadic finds Pelle, and his shot is headed off the line by Debuchy.
64'
The good news for Arsenal is that they've not conceded again.

Pelle hits the post. His run to the near post gets ahead of the defender, and his flick crashes off the post and into the path of Ward-Prowse who shoots just over.
