It's the dream start for visitors Southampton at The Emirates, with Carlos Alcaraz opening the scoring. Aaron Ramsdale was to blame, however, after a poor clearance.

It is a must-win clash for both sides this one, with Southampton fighting for their lives and Arsenal desperate to keep the pressure on title-rivals City.

In such a crucial game, you must be switched on right from the get-go, and that's exactly what Arsenal weren't coming out on Friday night.

It was goalkeeper Aaron Rasmdale who was to blame for the opener, after his clearance was met and intercepted outside the box by Saints' Carlos Alcaraz, who made light work of the long-distance shot, converting for 0-1.

The dream start for the visitors here, and it leaves the league leaders with it all to do. Follow how the game progresses right here.
