Arsenal marched to Southampton’s field in round 31 of the Premier League with poor performance.
As usual, Southampton took the initiative.
Even if more accurate, Aubameyang could have given the Gunners an early lead.
From a non-dangerous situation, Southampton goalkeeper McCarthy passed the ball straight into Nketiah’s feet, thereby helping this player comfortably dribble the ball into an empty net, opening the score for Arsenal.
Having scored a goal, Arsenal proactively played slowly, giving way to the game in the last minutes of the first half and most of the second half. However, they still got another goal thanks to substitute Willock.
With this victory, Arsenal temporarily escaped 10th place to continue raising hopes of participating in the Europa League.
