Bukayo Saka inspired Arsenal to a 3-1 victory over Southampton, as the Gunners came from behind to secure all three points at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite a frustrating first half, Arsenal maintained their unbeaten start to the season after overcoming the winless Saints. Cameron Archer gave Southampton a shock lead 10 minutes into the second half, finishing neatly after a swift counter-attack.
However, Arsenal quickly responded with two goals in the space of 10 minutes. Kai Havertz curled in a brilliant finish to equalise before Gabriel Martinelli met Saka’s cross at the back post to put the hosts ahead. Saka then sealed the victory with a clinical late goal, capping off his impressive performance.

The win marked Arsenal’s 400th home win in Premier League history, keeping them within a point of league leaders Liverpool heading into the international break.
Southampton, still without a win this season, had shown resilience early on but struggled to contain Arsenal’s second-half resurgence.
The Saints came close to a late response, with Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Adam Armstrong both denied by the woodwork, but Saka’s strike put the result beyond doubt as Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to 16 matches in all competitions.
