\Bukayo Saka starred as Arsenal avenged their FA Cup exit against Southampton with a 3-1 win in the Premier League rematch on Tuesday.
Unfazed by Stuart Armstrong’s early strike for the hosts, Arsenal were ahead by half-time thanks to goals from Nicolas Pepe and Saka. Saka, Lacazette and Emile Smith Rowe were recalled as Arteta made five changes and the reshuffled Gunners should have been ahead inside the first minute.Granit Xhaka’s defence-splitting pass picked out Lacazette’s run, but the French striker shot straight at Alex McCarthy with only the Saints keeper to beat.With four successive league clean sheets before their trip to St Mary’s, Arsenal had been looking unusually solid at the back, but Armstrong’s goal would have infuriated Arteta.
After Thomas Partey pressed Southampton into conceding possession, Xhaka’s pass sent Pepe racing clear and he slotted into the far corner for his sixth goal of the season.
