Arsenal record their first draw in the Premier League

Arsenal didn't go more than a 1-1 away draw against Southampton. Coach Mikel Arteta's men recorded their first Premier League draw.

As for the challenge, the friends took the lead in the 11th minute of the first half thanks to a goal by Granit Xhaka. The midfielder of Albanian origin confirmed the excellent form he is going through at the beginning of the season, giving a great contribution to the Gunners. It was the third goal (fourth in all competitions) for the 30-year-old in this season of the Premier League as the Londoners, regardless of several opportunities, ended the first half with a minimum advantage of 0-1.

In the second 45 minutes, Southampton appeared more demanding and saw more of Arsenal's goal and in fact were rewarded in the 65th minute thanks to Arsmtrong's goal, which set the balance again. The locals had the chance to score again, but they did not take advantage of the opportunities. Meanwhile, from the other side Arsenal found the way to the net through Odegaard, but the action was invalid as the ball first crossed the end line.

By the end, the score did not change and the Gunners held on for a draw, yet they remain at the top of the Premier League with 28 points while Southampton are in 15th place with 12 points.

Elsewhere in the Premier League, Aston Villa bounced back from Steven Gerrard's sacking with an emphatic 4-0 home win over Brentford. So, Leicester defeated Wolverhampton with the numbers 0-4 in the transfer, while Leeds did not resist at home and was defeated by Fulham with the numbers 2-3.
