Arsenal vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Gunners score three
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
Arsenal take on Southampton in the Premier League as they look to stay on track and remain in the title hunt.
Mikel Arteta’s side have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season, with four wins and two draws from their opening six matches, which should stand them in good stead ahead of the visit of a side they have never lost to in north London in 24 games.
Aaron Ramsdale will return to the Emirates for the first time since leaving the club in the summer and recently explained why he departed from north London to play for a club who could be threatened with relegation.
Arsenal go into the game on a 15-game unbeaten run, and Kai Havertz is one who will be looking to thrive after scoring his fifth goal in nine games on Tuesday during the club’s 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Martinelli has now scored two goals in six appearances in the Premier League against Southampton. Plus, he's contributed to goals in his last three games in the Premier League (two goals, two assists).
Arsenal vs Southampton
VAR have had a long look at the goal after doubt about Martinelli's onside status. However, it's confirmed to be a goal with a great roar around the ground.
Arsenal vs Southampton
Martinelli crosses from the left and Southampton clear. Saka keeps it alive and he floats one over too, yet Merino fouls Aribo in the centre and the Saints get some brief repreive. This only lasts for seconds as Southampton fail to build out from the back and the Gunners get a corner on the left. Corner number 11 comes in, it's flicked on and Havertz can't get his effort on target.

The corner comes to nothing, as it flies straight over everyone and out for a goal-kick, yet Arsenal's pressing is tireless.

Well, Arsenal tails are up since that goal. Rice has fired over in a frenetic spell, and now, Partey has just fired in a deflected effort off of Bednarek. An Arsenal corner is coming on the right.
