Arsenal 1 Southampton 1 LIVE REACTION: Aubameyang finally ends goal drought but ten-man Gunners winless streak continues

THAT’S A WRAP

Thanks for joining us this evening.

ARTETA ON A DRAW

Arteta says: “When you cannot win it you don’t lose it.

“Going again with ten men and playing so long against a good side you have to take it.

“The boys defended with their lives and you have to take a point.”

ARTETA SPEAKS

Speaking on Amazon, Mikel Arteta says: “We had some good moments and some good opportunities where we didn’t score.

“Hopefully that’s going to unlock us because in the last few weeks it’s been a struggle. In this case for Auba individually I think it’s really important.”

Speaking of Gabriel’s red card, Arteta said: “There were many incidents before that where the referee didn’t give any yellow cards for blocking free-kicks, for kicking the ball out and we got it.

“You have to be a little stable on that understand the game and the tension.”

SAINTS STATS

Southampton will be happy with that.

STAT ATTACK

Arsenal remain 15th after tonight’s draw, they’re six clear of the relegation zone…

They’ve won just 14 points from 13 Premier League games this season, it’s their lowest tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1974-75.

The Gunners have a real discipline problem these days; they’ve had seven red cards this year.

STANDINGS

Southampton missed out on the chance to go top for an hour or so, but they move into third.

Tottenham face Liverpool at Anfield shortly to decide who goes top.

A POINT APIECE

Arsenal have held onto a point and avoided their fifth successive home league defeat.

Holding’s late header could have changed their fortunes, but Redmond also rattled the crossbar in the latter stages of the game.
