Walcott scores against his own club. Good first time finish.

Uh oh.

Zinchenko calls all the Arsenal players in for a big chat.

2-0 now. what the actual **** is going on?

Pressure. 3 games on the bounce now where they have lost the plot.

Yet you will still be lambasted for saying Arsenal have bottled it.

SlickRic · 21-04-2023 08:18PM

I got ridiculed for saying they're not solid enough to go the distance with City.

y0ssar1an22 · 21-04-2023 08:21PM

2-1. game back on

Fitz* · 21-04-2023 08:22PM

Big goal Martinelli.

Saka has been in really poor form the last while but that was good. Just about kept it in play too.

hynesie08 · 21-04-2023 08:22PM

Southampton might have to leave first gear now.

y0ssar1an22 · 21-04-2023 08:39PM

looks a bad injury here to bednarek

castletownman · 21-04-2023 08:39PM

Bleedin' foreign striker leaning in like that.

You'd never see Sir Harry Kane do such a thing. No siree.

Quazzie · 21-04-2023 08:40PM

His playacting has left him that he won't be allowed continue.

y0ssar1an22 · 21-04-2023 08:40PM

fair play to the doc's signalling he needs to be taken off

Pipmae · 21-04-2023 08:41PM

On what planet is that not dangerous play.

Outrageous that it isn't a red...and then a pull back actually is a card. Shambles officiating

Fitz* · 21-04-2023 08:43PM

By right Martinelli should be booked for that. It's dirty play - the Harry Kane special. Puts the opposition at serious risk.

Pipmae · 21-04-2023 08:45PM

He could have actually broke his neck. Shocking. I think when Bednarek watches the replay he'll understand where the medical team were coming from although his frustration is totally understandable.

jacool · 21-04-2023 08:50PM

Two massive jersey pulls there and nothing given. First Jesus is dragged back when going on his run into the box and then Perraud pulls back Gabriel as he heads the ball. Perraud is actually lucky not to be off as he put his arms up and almost blocked a quick throw-in just after he was booked. I can't see Southampton finishing with 11 here, probably 9.

Martinelli should have been booked too - they must have confused him with Harry Kane.

Flaneur OBrien · 21-04-2023 08:51PM

That Southampton strip is manky.

Infoseeker1975 · 21-04-2023 09:06PM

Arsenal will win as Southampton are bottom for a reason though Alcaraz looks an excellent player, both their full backs are booked and to get a result they will definitely need to score at least one more goal in the 2nd half.

Surprised at the drop off from Arsenal in the last couple of games with no European football, take a couple of players out in Saliba & Xhaka & they are struggling, even though it is a young team I think this is their best chance for many years as CL next season will make it way harder.

They need to get a draw against City next Wednesday to have a good chance of remaining on top, hopefully they will as a 5th city title win in 6 years and the need to get 90pts to compete with them makes it likely they will win the next few titles also.

TitianGerm · 21-04-2023 09:21PM

Ahhahahaha, state of Arteta geeing up the crowd there over Southampton time wasting 😂 he didn't have an issue with it when Arsenal were flat out at it over the last few weeks.
