They had kept a clean sheet in six of their preceding eight home games in the Premier League. Jack Stephens became the 33rd player to make 100 appearances for the Saints in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 8th Arsenal had now won three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since October 2018. The Gunners became the third team to win 750 away games in the Premier League and Football League after Manchester United (823) and Liverpool (789). Aged 19 years and 143 days, Bukayo Saka became the youngest Englishman to score in consecutive league games for Arsenal since Paul Merson in League Division One in May 1987 (19 years and 50 days).
