Arsenal frustrated over Southampton draw

Arsenal were held to their first draw of the season away at Southampton on Sunday afternoon. Despite scoring early, the Gunners missed several chances to put the game away which ultimately came back to bite them.

A Stuart Armstrong strike in the second half rescued a point for his side. Speaking after the game, Arteta said his team didn’t put away chances and made life difficult for themselves in the second half with sloppy giveaways.

While it’s not the end of the world, as Arsenal still sit top of the Premier League table by two points, it was a chance to further distance themselves from the chasing pack. With Tottenham losing and Chelsea and Manchester United sharing the spoils, it was a chance missed.

Striker Gabriel Jesus was one of the main culprits for missing chances. The Brazilian has been nothing short of sensational since arriving, but he lowered his colours on Sunday.

Arsenal are back in action on Thursday night when they face PSV in the Europa League.
