Comments:

League position: 1st . Arsenal had now drawn three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2020. . The Gunners had now conceded a goal in the first minute in two of their last four home games in the Premier League; also versus AFC Bournemouth on 4 March 2023 after nine seconds (won 3-2). . Olexsandr Zinchenko became the first Ukrainian to make 100 appearances in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 20th . If Southampton had held on to their lead, it would have been the fifth time that the team that started the day at the bottom of the division had beaten the league leaders in the history of the Premier League; most recently Wolverhampton Wanderers versus Manchester United on 5 February 2011. . Carlos Alcaraz's opening goal was timed at 28 seconds. The Saints hold the record for the quickest-ever goal in the Premier League; 7.69 seconds by Shane Long against Watford on 23 April 2019. . Former Arsenal player Theo Walcott became the first player to make 150 appearances in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium.
