90'+7
And that is full-time, what a finish! Southampton took the lead from a Cech own goal, Koscielny equalised on his birthday with a spectacular bicycle kick. In stoppage time, Giroud won a penalty and Cazorla converted it to seal the three points.

You have to feel for Southampton, their performance has deserved a point. And Long was fouled in the build-up to Arsenal's penalty.

90'+1
PENALTY TO ARSENAL! Fonte is penalised for tangling with Giroud and bringing him down, looked harsh as both were wrestling with each other. The Saints players are furious.

Cedric puts the ball behind for a corner. Ozil's header is blocked by Romeu, the Saints make a last ditch challenge.

SO CLOSE! Giroud's diving header goes agonisingly wide at the near post after a delightful cross from Cazorla.

DOUBLE SAVE: Cech parries Hojbjerg's drive before using his feet to keep out Long's scuffed effort on the rebound. The striker should have scored!
81'
Ward-Prowse's first contribution is to concede a free-kick on the edge of the box after barging over Sanchez. Carzola curls it in but Forster gathers.

WHAT A MISS! Tadic with a lovely backheel into the path of Long who is through on goal and chips the ball over Cech but his effort is well wide. That was a golden opportunity.
