- Arsenal completed a second-half turnaround to defeat Southampton 3-1 thanks to goals from Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka in a masterful display by the England winger.
The Gunners were left frustrated by their guests at the Emirates in the first half, with a steely Southampton showing a marketable improvement from their dismal 3-1 defeat at Bournemouth last time out.
A host of changes saw Jorginho, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling brought into the starting lineup, the latter making his first Premier League start for the club.
But the hosts were shellshocked when Cameron Archer broke away and curled an effort past David Raya in the 55th minute to open the scoring, only for Havertz to hit back immediately after Saka capitalised on a defensive error.
Saka then laid a perfect cross for substitute Martinelli to tap home at the back post and then with minutes remaining, fired past his former Arsenal team-mate Aaron Ramsdale with a clinical finish on his weaker foot.
