Gabriel Jesus has called on his Arsenal teammates to “increase the level” after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners went ahead through Granit Xhaka’s early goal from Ben White’s cross but could not add to their lead during a spell of early dominance. Jesus himself saw a shot saved by Gavin Bazunu, while Gabriel Martinelli had a shot deflected wide.
Southampton were much improved after the break and took advantage of Arsenal ’s tiring legs when Stuart Armstrong tucked home to complete a flowing move involving Mohamed Elyounoussi. Martin Odegaard had the ball in the net for Arsenal, but it was ruled out because the ball was out of play before Kieran Tierney crossed for him.
