(Reuters) - SOUTHAMPTON 3 ARSENAL 2A late goal by substitute Charlie Austin gave relegation-threatened Southampton a thrilling 3-2 victory over Arsenal on Sunday in new Austrian manager Ralph Hasenhuettl's first home game. It was the Londoners' first defeat in 23 games and meant they lost ground on fourth-placed Chelsea, while Southampton moved out of the bottom three. Danny Ings, back after injury, headed two fine goals in the first half from equally good crosses by Matt Targett and Nathan Redmond. Yet in the 85th minute Austin, who had come on for the tiring Ings, headed in a cross by Shane Long. Koscielny was at fault in failing to cut out Targett's cross from the left and losing Ings, who scored his first headed goal for three years.
