Arsenal had now already been awarded more penalties in after four games of this Premier League season (three) than they did in the whole of 2015-16 (two). Laurent Koscielny became the fifth Gunner to score a Premier League goal on his birthday. Santi Cazorla scored form the penalty spot in the fourth minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 18th Southampton boss Claude Puel became the fourth French manager to face Arsene Wenger in the Premier League after Gerard Houllier, Jean Tigana and Remi Garde. The Saints scored their first Premier League goal at the Emirates since their 1-6 defeat on 15 September 2012. They had now failed to win any of their first four games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2012-13. Jose Fonte was booked in the first minute of added time in the second half. Virgil Van Dijk was booked in the fourth minute of added time in the second half. Ryan Bertrand was booked in the fourth minute of added time in the second half.
