February 2 was Groundhog Day and the same old problems resurfaced for Arsenal against Southampton. Nick Wright was at the Emirates Stadium for Sky Sports as the Gunners Premier League blip threatened to turn into a collapse… Koeman confronts Wenger Arsene Wenger and Ronald Koeman had a post-match confrontation after Arsenals 0-0 draw. The cruel jokes had started circulating on social media long before the chorus of boos that greeted the final whistle. It was Groundhog Day and Arsenal had marked the occasion by dropping to fourth place - the position in which they have finished in six of the last 10 seasons.Its a grimly familiar feeling for the Gunners. How quickly things have changed. Four weeks ago they were two points clear at the top of the table and seemingly on course for their first Premier League title since 2003/04, but a desperately frustrating night against Southampton extended a damaging winless streak to four games. The heroics of Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster should not be overlooked, but Arsenal have only themselves to blame. They are now as close to fifth place as they are to first, and it appears the same old problems are holding them back…Wasteful finishing Fraser Forster denies Mesut Ozil in the first half with a point-blank save Forster deserves immense credit for the 10 saves that kept the hosts at bay, but what of Arsenals finishing? Dominating possession and failing to take advantage has become a familiar refrain in recent years, and since the 3-3 draw at Anfield on January 13, they have gone three Premier League games without finding the net.And while they mustered just four shots on target in their games against Stoke and Chelsea, creativity was certainly not the issue here. Not one team in my one-and-a-half years of managing Southampton have created what Arsenal created today, said Southampton manager Ronald Koeman.Eighteen of the Gunners 21 shots came in an utterly dominant second half, but they should have been ahead before then. Forsters point-blank save from Ozil shortly before the break was rightly lauded, but the Germans furious reaction told its own story. It would have been easier to score. Arsene Wenger expresses his disappointment at Arsenals poor finishing following their goalless draw with Southampton Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez had 12 shots between them without finding a way through, while Laurent Koscielny sent a free header over from six yards, and Ozil was at fault again when he delayed his shot and allowed Virgil van Dijk to make a vital last-ditch tackle in the closing stages.The performance we wanted to produce was there but we cannot be happy with the way we finished our chances, said Arsene Wenger in his post-match press conference. Thats what I think is the most disappointing, that some players missed chances they usually take. Our finishing is very bad at the moment. In the last three games we had chances we didnt take. At this level thats important. Wenger laments poor finishing Arsene Wenger felt his side had plenty of chances to win the game against Southampton. Character lacking? Petr Cech insists Arsenal should have won their clash against Southampton and praises his opposite number Fraser Forster Joe Allens last-gasp equaliser for Liverpool at Anfield last month presented Arsenal with a major mental test of their title credentials. Could they show the character of champions by putting that psychological blow behind them? Two points and no goals from three games suggests not.Petr Cech has brought calmness and authority to the defence and there have been encouraging victories over the likes of Manchester United and City, but complacency still haunts Wengers team, and recent performances indicate they still cant cope when the pressures on.The manager admitted his side were nervous in the first half against Southampton, and their conviction appeared to drain away with every missed chance. And while Forster was outstanding for the visitors, Arsenals lack of ruthlessness was an even greater factor in the result. They require a dramatic turnaround in the weeks ahead if they are to avoid another second-half-of-the-season capitulation.The cost of injuries Mathieu Flaminis performances have come in for criticism in recent weeks Arsenals annual injury crisis has eased in recent weeks, and they were boosted by the return of Sanchez against Southampton after his two-month spell in the treatment room. The Chilean is not the only player on his way back to full fitness, but the injuries are still taking their toll.Central midfield has been particularly problematic. Arsenal allowed more shots on target (24) than any other Premier league side in the absence of first-choice anchorman Francis Coquelin in January, and the Frenchman was only fit enough for the bench against the Saints.In his and Santi Cazorlas absence, Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini have been unable to develop an effective partnership, and while they only faced three shots on target against Southampton, Oriol Romeu and Vincent Wanyama certainly came out on top in the midfield battle. Inspired Foster denies Arsenal Read our match report as Fraser Forster helps Southampton claim a point against Arsenal. Wenger will be hoping January signing Mohamed Elneny can provide additional support after his encouraging debut in the FA Cup against Burnley, but the Egyptians absence from the squad against Southampton suggests he wont feature prominently just yet, and Arsenal badly miss the control and intelligence of Cazorla.The little Spaniard became a vital component of Wengers side after moving to central midfield last year, and this season he still ranks first at the club for passes per game in the Premier League (82.1) and second for chances created (2.6). The sooner the Coquelin-Cazorla axis is available again, the better. Rivals make them pay Wengers misery was compounded by victories for Arsenals title rivals Arsenals miserable evening was compounded by results elsewhere, as Leicester, Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United claimed victories. Wenger admitted it was far from ideal, but the Frenchman urged his side to concentrate on their own results.Leicester won again and now Im sure that everyone will take them very seriously, especially in the media, so they will be under pressure as well, he said. But we cant look too much at Leicester or Man City, we have to win football games and focus on responding quickly.Thats all you can do. Its a dream to think you can catch the others if you dont win your games and in the last three games we only took two points. At the moment, Arsenals title challenge appears to be turning into a nightmare.

The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games.OKLAHOMA CITY -- Russell Westbrook recorded his fourth consecutive triple-double and ninth of the season Wednesday in the Thunders 126-115 overtime win?over the Washington Wizards.Westbrook entered the game needing only four rebounds to maintain his triple-double average. He accomplished that in the first quarter, making him the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double into December.Wednesdays final tally: 35 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists.Uhhh, yeah, Thunder guard Victor Oladipo said when asked if hes ever amazed by Westbrook. Ill be out there, and some of the things he does are unreal, bro.Westbrook struggled shooting for most of the game, hitting only seven of his first 28 shots. But with 8.5 seconds remaining, he hit a step-back 3-pointer that sent the game into overtime. In the extra frame, Westbrook outscored the Wizards 14-10, hitting four of his six attempts in overtime and finishing 12-of-35 from the field.Never stop believing in yourself and the capabilities of doing what you can do on the basketball floor, Westbrook said. Regardless of if Im missing shots, there are other ways I can impact the game, and I try to find a way to insert myself throughout the game.Said coach Billy Donovan, When he goes through difficulties, he focuses more, and I think thats reaally unique.ddddddddddddThe Thunder led by as many as 16 but fell behind by seven with 3:32 remaining. Westbrook sparked the comeback, tipping in a missed shot, setting up Andre Roberson for a 3, setting up Oladipo for a jumper, hitting a layup and capping the run with the 3.In overtime, Westbrook started his scoring by beating Otto Porter Jr. and Kelly Oubre Jr. on a missed Thunder free throw, which he put back. He continued by closing the Wizards with a flurry of jump shots.For me, every play matters, Westbrook said. You have to see whats going on in the game, and you can always impact the game in different ways. Thats the type of player I am, trying to find ways to impact the game, whatever is going on.Center Enes Kanter joked, I gotta start boxing him out. Hes not leaving any rebounds for the bigs.Through 20 games, Westbrook is averaging 31.2 points, 10.5 rebounds and 11.3 assists. The Thunder are 7-2 when he records a triple-double.Four consecutive triple-doubles ties the longest streak of his career, a feat he pulled off during the 2014-15 season. This is the 46th triple-double of Westbrooks career, placing him alone in sixth all time, ahead of?LeBron James. ' ' '
