Arsenal might have fought back to rescue a point against Southampton. But jbsoutar is not convinced. The pressure is taking its toll on this young team.
A draw will feel like a loss for both Southampton and Arsenal even though the latter were two goals down with two minutes to play. The pressure is taking its toll and a win at the Etihad is necessary if the Gunners want to claim their first league title in 19 years..
Zinchenko called a post-goal huddle to try and work out what the hell was going on, with Gary Neville left dumbfounded on Sky Sports co-commentary duty. Arsenal did respond through Gabriel Martinelli – who thrashed Bukayo Saka’s pass into the back of the net to galvanise his teammates and the home crowd.
The vast majority of the second 45 minutes went exactly as expected. Alcaraz was substituted at half-time despite having a goal and assist before ending his first half with a goalline clearance. Ruben Selles brought on Lyanco to add another central defender to the equation. Arsenal dominated possession while Southampton sat every player behind the ball. There wasn’t even much attempt to counter attack.
Eight minutes of added time would have felt like 80 to the Southampton players, while Arsenal were hoping for a next-goal-wins scenario. Arsenal did come bloody close to getting another and it is probably for the best they didn’t. The Emirates would not have survived it.
