Saints send holders crashing out of competition in fourth round at St Mary's Stadium

Southampton knocked holders Arsenal out of the FA Cup on Saturday after an own-goal from Gabriel secured their place in the fifth round.

The Saints deservedly won the match thanks to the game's only goal in the first half when Gabriel turned in Kyle Walker-Peters' cross in the 24th minute.

It was the first goal Arsenal had conceded in 508 minutes as they suffered a first defeat in seven matches.

Southampton will now face another Premier League side in Wolves, who beat sixth-tier Chorley on Friday, in the next round.

Saints captain James Ward-Prowse said: "It's a good feeling for us. We deserved to win today. We're looking forward to the next round now.

"Our pressing was very good. We lacked that second goal to kill the game."

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said:  "Really sad to be out of the competition. Disappointed to be out and the way we conceded.

"We had issues in the first half and unforced errors as a result of the high-press they do. In the second half we had two or three big chances but not enough."

Chef Nobu's advice for eating sushi

“One mistake people always make is adding extra wasabi. There is no need for this, because it should already be there between the rice and the fish.
“When eating nigiri, you must dip the fish – not the rice – in soy sauce, otherwise the rice will collapse. Also, don’t use too much soy sauce or it will make you thirsty. For sushi rolls, dip a little of the rice-covered roll lightly in soy sauce and eat in one bite.
“Chopsticks are acceptable, but really, I recommend using your fingers for sushi. Do use chopsticks for sashimi, though.
“The ginger should be eaten separately as a palette cleanser and used to clear the mouth when switching between different pieces of fish.”

Why your domicile status is important

Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.

Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born. 

UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.

A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
