Arsenal dropped points for the second time in the Premier League this season. Mikel Arteta’s side were unable to find a winner in a 1-1 draw against Southampton.
It is the first time that the north London side have dropped points since the start of September when the Gunners had lost 3-1 at Old Trafford to rivals Manchester United. Despite this, Arsenal still sit at the top of the league.
The match against Southampton was the first time that Oleksandr Zinchenko’s absence from the side was clear. Arsenal lacked the cutting edge in the final third, and the Ukrainian had been offering extra creativity from deep earlier in the season.
