Arsenal lost their breath before Southampton, the championship race was getting more and more intense
Arsenal vs Southampton results - For the first time this season, Arsenal dropped points in the lead.
Despite having to be a guest on St Mary's Stadium, it did not seem to affect the confidence of coach Arteta's teachers and students. Right from the first minutes, the away team continuously pressed the field and caused waves for goalkeeper Bazunu's goal.

In the 11th minute, from a phase of stacking on the right, Saka and Ben White coordinated smoothly before he crossed into the penalty area for Xhaka to put his heart on the roof of the home team's net. Getting an early goal helps the Gunners play more elegantly.
At the end of the first half, the Southampton defenders once again made a mistake in front of the goal and Odegaard immediately had the opportunity to seize the opportunity. The Norwegian captain punched the ball delicately for Gabriel Jesus to face him, but unfortunately the last shot could not win against Bazunu.
In the second half, Arsenal suddenly played down and could no longer cause continuous pressure on Southampton. Meanwhile, the Gunners' slowing down also opened the door for the home team to speed up and find an equalizer.
65 minutes, after a lot of efforts, teachers and teachers Ralph Hasenhuttl also got the equalizer. The ball passed Elyounoussi with a slot to eliminate two Arsenal defenders for Stuart Armstrong to penetrate the penalty area and coolly knock Ramsdale down.
After conceding a goal, coach Arteta immediately made a change to refresh his attack when launching into Nketiah and Tierney. This adjustment worked when Tierney saved the ball at the bottom of the line and returned to the second line for Odegaard to hit Bazunu's net in the 78th minute. Unfortunately, the goal was disallowed because the ball had gone all the way before.
It was also the last remarkable chance for both teams. In the end, Arsenal were held 1-1 by Southampton despite taking the lead. This result does not affect their No. 1 position in the table, but the gap with Man City is only 2 points. Thus, the round 12 match between the two teams will be decisive to the top of the Premier League.
