Time running out for listless Gabriel Jesus after another chance to impress Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta passed him by during win over Southampton

By the hour mark, Mikel Arteta had seen enough. The score was 1-1. Time for a triple substitution to shake things up.

Off went Raheem Sterling, Jorginho and Gabriel Jesus. On came Gabriel Martinelli, Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard. Eight minutes later, Martinelli scored from a Bukayo Saka cross to set Arsenal on their way to victory over Southampton.

Jesus, who had made his first start of the season, could only watch. He is the Arsenal nearly man who always seems to be on the verge of turning the corner — but never quite does.
