Match report: Arsenal 1-1 Southampton

By Rob Kelly

WHAT HAPPENED

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang slotted home a well-taken equaliser as we claimed a point against in-form Southampton on Wednesday night.

After falling behind to a goal from Theo Walcott, we battled our way back into the game and had our reward when our captain finished off a good move.

But Gabriel’s red card for a second bookable offence left us holding on, although we nearly claimed an injury-time winner when Rob Holding’s header hit the woodwork.

Seeking a response from his side to arrest their slump in form, Mikel Arteta switched to three at the back and made four changes to his side.
