Bukayo Saka inspired Arsenal to victory over Southampton as they came from behind to win 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal were frustrated by the dogged visitors in the first half and fell behind soon after the break when substitute Cameron Archer found the bottom corner following a Saints counter. The goal sparked an immediate Arsenal response, though, as Saka stole possession and fed Kai Havertz, who guided a fine finish past Aaron Ramsdale to score for a seventh consecutive home game.
' Analysis: Saka steps up againMikel Arteta fielded a front four with a combined total of 279 goals and 158 assists in the Premier League but it was the youngest member of the quartet who truly stepped up. This was another outstanding display from Saka, who, at only 23, continues to be the player Arsenal look to in the difficult moments. His pair of assists took him to seven in the Premier League this season. At the time of writing, nobody else has more than four.
