00:00All over here at the Emirates, and for Arsenal, an important 3-1 win over Southampton.
00:05Saints have proven very tricky customer series of the season.
00:08Arsenal haven't won any of their three previous meetings at Southampton.
00:12The last three times they played each other, but here they won 3-1.
00:16I think it was a performance they definitely deserved to get three points from,
00:19albeit it started with a shock when Southampton didn't leave for the Cameron Archer after 55 minutes.
00:26I think plenty of people who were here at the Emirates today will feel that Arsenal needed to kick them into gear.
00:33They certainly improved, and they equalised very soon after conceding that goal when Kai Havertz scored.
00:38He's now scored in all four of Arsenal's last games.
00:42And Gabriel Martinelli then came up off the bench and scored for the Kai.
00:46Saka assisted both of Arsenal's first two goals.
00:50They were then into a 2-1 lead, and then Saka scored the third himself,
00:53capitalising on a late mistake to make it 3-1.
00:56An important three points for Mikel Arteta's side,
00:59who keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool towards the summit of the Premier League table.
01:03Liverpool and City both won today as well.
