Comments:

League position: 6th With their first goal in this game, Arsenal became the fourth club to score a total of 4,000 goals in their home games in the top division; also Everton (4,321), Liverpool (4,128) and Aston Villa (4,049). Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang became the first player to score six or more goals in his first seven appearances for the Gunners in the Premier League. They had now scored three or more goals in five consecutive home games in all competitions for the first time since their opening six games of the 1958-59 season. Mohamed Elneny was sent-off after 90 minutes due to violent conduct. However, his subsequent claim for wrongful dismissal was upheld and the red card withdrawn.

Comments:

League position: 18th Shane Long scored his second goal in his last 40 appearances for Southampton in all competitions. Charlie Austin had now scored in each of his four Premier League games against Arsenal (four goals). The Saints avoided losing three consecutive league games by a margin of three or more goals for the first time since August 1930.
