Arsenal made it four wins in a row across all competitions as they secured a 3-1 victory over Southampton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The win keeps them within one point of Liverpool and Manchester City atop the Premier League table.

The Gunners made a strong start by applying pressure and crafting a number of opportunities through corners, but they weren't able to create early significant chances despite promising signs. That was the theme for the first half after the Saints weathered the initial storm, with Arsenal not threatening again until the end of the opening 45 minutes as Raheem Sterling's effort was blocked by defender Jan Bednarek before Thomas Partey forced a save from goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
