Match report: Southampton 0-2 Arsenal

Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock were both on target as we secured a welcome first win since the Premier League restarted.

The opener came when Nketiah seized on a goalkeeping error. Alex McCarthy tried to find a defender and Nketiah closed down well and anticipated the pass, blocking the ball back towards goal and dashing past the keeper to apply the simplest of finishes.

It was Nketiah's fourth goal of the season, and his six in 11 starts across all competitions if you include his loan spell at Leeds.

Southampton had actually controlled the early stages of this game but we gradually exerted a grip, and always looked a threat with our pace on the counter-attack.
