Martin Odegaard scored for Arsenal

Arsenal’s woes have continued as they fought back to draw 3-3 with struggling Southampton at the Emirates Stadium on Friday.

Arsenal were 1-3 down and they fought back to salvage a draw. This is Arsenal’s third consecutive draw, handing Manchester City a clear chance to take over at the top.

The Gunners have only picked three of nine points from their last three games and they know that their lead at the top may as well come to an end except if City lose their next two games.

Arsenal still have a potential cracker against City at the Etihad Stadium which will also shape the look at the top of the English Premier League.
