Late goals from Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka earned Arsenal a 3-3 draw against Southampton, who had a two-goal lead with minutes to go
Conventional wisdom had it that the league title would be decided at the Etihad next Wednesday butThis was almost the greatest fightback their stadium has seen, better still than the overhauling of Bournemouth, but despite pulling level late on against a brave, shattereda draw was not really enough. Shocking defending early on helped Carlos Alcaraz and Theo Walcott, who both finished superbly, put Saints two up before Gabriel Martinelli appeared to begin restoring the natural order.
In the event Arsenal were, against the odds, asked to show exactly the same mettle Liverpool and West Ham demonstrated in causing them such angst. Amid a sizable list of recent concessions by their back line, the opener was by some way the most gruesome. Aaron Ramsdale’s distribution usually falls the right side of the risk-versus-reward equation preached by Arteta but this time, with the ball at his feet and under little pressure, he flunked the test.
