Comments:

League position: 11th Southampton had now won one of their last seven games in the Premier League (lost three). Since the start of the 2014-15 season, only five Englishmen had now scored more goals in the Premier League than Charlie Austin (30). The Saints had still yet to win consecutive home games in the Premier League in 2017.

Comments:

League position: 5th Olivier Giroud was now equal with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer of Manchester United as the player who had scored the most goals as a substitute for one club in the Premier League (17). Although Arsenal had now trailed in nine of their 16 games so far in this Premier League season, no other team had recovered more points from losing positions in the 2017-18 Premier League season (ten). The Gunners had now conceded 32 goals in their away games in the Premier League in 2017; only West Ham United (35), Stoke City (33) and Watford (33) had conceded more.
