The Premier League title race is set for plenty of twists and turns before the end of the season and there have been many of those over the past three weeks. Arsenal dropped points away at both Liverpool and West Ham in consecutive games, having had a two-goal lead in both.
The game to get things back on trick was against relegation strugglers Southampton, who sat bottom of the league going into proceedings. It seemed certain for a result for the Gunners, but the script was far from what many expected as just 27 seconds in, Carlos Alcaraz capitalised on an Aaron Ramsdale mistake to open the scoring.
Former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott then doubled the lead as he went beyond Gabriel to find the back of the net once again. Gabriel Martinelli brought the home side back into the game, The second half didn't provide much relief as Duje Caleta-Car was free at the back post to head home a third.
