Arsenal made their return to Premier League action on Sunday as they made the trip to Saint Mary’s to face off against Southampton. The south coast venue has become something of an unhappy hunting ground for the Gunners, a streak they won’t be too happy to continue.
Granit Xhaka appeared to put those fears to rest early in the game, volleying his effort into the roof of the net just 11 minutes in. There were other chances that came for the visitors, but none were taken.
It left them vulnerable to a comeback, which is exactly what happened in the second half of the match. Stuart Armstrong equalised after managing to get beyond the backline, with Arsenal unable to find a response.
