Comments:

League position: 6th Arsenal avoided losing three consecutive league games for a second time in the same season for the first time since 1983-84 in League Division One. The Gunners had now won three consecutive home games in the Premier League without conceding for the first time since October 2017. 102 goals had now been scored in their 38 games in the Premier League in 2021 (60 for, 42 against). Gabriel scored after 59 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 16th This was Southampton's 1,000 away defeat in the Premier League and Football League. The Saints were now without a win in their last five games in the Premier League (lost three). They had now conceded 50 goals in away games in the Premier League in 2021; more than in any of their previous years in the division.
