Arsenal supporters were livid as Arsene Wenger was spotted laughing as he made his way down the tunnel following a 2-0 defeat to Southampton.

Claude Puel’s men ran out convincing winners at the Emirates against an inexperienced Gunners side in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup.

Wenger was criticised for fielding an under-strength team against the Saints, with the likes of Emiliano Martinez, Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Lucas Perez being named in the starting XI.

Jordy Clasie scored the opener for the Saints in the 13th minute, before Ryan Bertrand doubled the lead for the away side just before the break.

Wenger, who made ten changes to the side which beat Bournemouth at the weekend, was spotted grinning as he made his way off the turf at the Emirates.

Gooners began sharing pictures of the Frenchman smiling when they were knocked out by Sheffield Wednesday last season in the competition.

Many accused him of lacking the right mentality as a result…

Why are Arsenal fans surprised that Wenger is smiling?

He was laughing and joking in his presser the day after the 6-0 defeat at the Bridge
