Southampton Arsenal

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal were made to pay for their wastefulness against Southampton and missed a chance to go four points ahead of Man City.

Had the travelling faithful screaming for a penalty as he looked to nod back across goal, but nothing doing according to the officials. The forward saw a couple of efforts well saved by Bazunu and thrashed another opportunity into the side netting from a tight angle. He started brightly and flicked the ball around the corner for Ben White, whose delivery was crashed home by Xhaka, but was (harshly) booked for diving. Responded well and showed his class when he neatly threaded the ball through to Jesus and brilliantly snuffed out a counter-attack on halfway. Worked hard but couldn't emulate the Norwegian's quality. Wasn't far off doubling his side's advantage with mesmerising dart across the face of goal, but his effort deflected just wide. He was sloppy after the interval and failed to nullify the encouraged hosts in the same way. DF Gabriel, 8 - If he was a couple of inches taller the central defender would have had the visitors in front inside five minutes as Saka's inviting delivery just about evaded his head. DF Ben White, 7 - Showed his quality on the ball when he played a neat one-two with Saka before clipping in an excellent cross that Xhaka gratefully converted. Reacted swiftly to tidy up after a mistake from Saliba and won everything. Arteta will be disappointed at how his side allowed Southampton back into the game. The Gunners remain top of the table, while goals continue to come from throughout the team.
