00:00Sterling
00:03Dispossessed by Fernandes
00:05And Fernandes immediately looks for Cameron Archer
00:12It's Archer! It's in!
00:20Mateus Fernandes!
00:23Well there's a lot of talk about whether Raheem Sterling was fouled
00:34But Arsenal's picked apart and Southampton have taken the lead at the Emirates
00:40We're talking about the sucker punch that Arsenal could be on the end of
00:51There's the challenging question
00:53No contact with the ball from Fernandes
00:55But I think Sterling kicks the back of his foot as he gets across
00:59But from then on it's all about this guy
01:01Lovely skip inside, Saliba allows him into that central part of the pitch
01:07Onto his favoured right foot
01:09That's the point that's going to be debated isn't it?
01:11That tackle, whether or not it's a foul
01:13It's a tight offside on Archer as well
01:17As to whether that is, I think that's been cleared
01:20And then it's all about this finish
01:22Lovely shift of body weight I have to say
01:24And pinpoint accuracy with the finish
01:27Low, firm, into the bottom corner
01:30What a breakaway goal
01:37Precise and perfect from Cameron Archer
01:40His first Premier League goal for the Saints
01:44What a celebration from Russell Martin
01:47And what a moment for Southampton
01:50And what a story we could have on our hands here at the Emirates
01:55Downs, stolen by Partey, into Havertz
02:00It's Kai Havertz, that's him
02:04It's that man again for Arsenal
02:11Seven in a row at home
02:141-1 on the afternoon
02:16After Southampton have taken a shot lead
02:19What a finish from Havertz
02:22Well a shame for Southampton, coming unstuck
02:25With really comfortable possession of the ball
02:28This area of the pitch is not too much pressure on Flynn Downs
02:32There's plenty for Havertz to do
02:34Doesn't he do it well?
02:36That is beautiful, that hit there, left foot
02:40Just a little touch to the side
02:42Sees that angle
02:44What a punchy hit that is
02:46Plenty of power from Havertz
02:48Little bit of side on it
02:50Off the inside of the post
02:52Brilliant finish
02:56Kai Osaka, lovely angle
02:58On that
03:07Gabriel Martinelli
03:09Off the bench
03:11To touch Arsenal into the lead
03:13But what a ball
03:14What a ball from Kai Osaka
03:16To set that up
03:22What a ball and what a run
03:25Super run from Martinelli
03:27He must have timed this
03:29To absolute perfection
03:32Because he's so close to the goal
03:35When he knocks it in, I mean
03:37It's a fair lean with his left shoulder
03:40I think Bednarek is the last defender
03:42You know Sak is going to hit that far post from this position
03:45He makes that run
03:47Looks to be on side with the lean
03:50Puts the boost on it
03:51And that touch in the near post
03:54It's a tight one, isn't it?
03:56It's a tight one
03:58Caught in the crosshairs
04:02They are in the VAR hub
04:04Michael Salisbury and his assistant Ian Hussin
04:09You just can't tell with the eye, can you?
04:11I think it might be the far defender who's the deepest
04:23So there are two defenders who are possibly
04:26Playing Gabrielle Martinelli on
04:28Bednarek and Harwood-Bellis
04:30I would suggest from the angles we've seen
04:37And looking at all the angles
04:39I think the position of Marino there
04:42Is obviously not interfering with play
04:44Slightly obscuring the last
04:47Playable part of
04:49Harwood-Bellis' body back
04:52I mean it's going to be incredibly tight
04:54It was always going to have to be
04:56Because for Martinelli to get that ball
04:58And contact it nearly by the post
05:00Just shows you
05:02How much ground he has to make up
05:04So that offside decision is super tight
05:12It's an anxious wait
05:13It is an anxious wait
05:17And we know that the VARs are told to
05:20Wait as long as they need to get the right decision
05:22And this decision is going to be greeted by
05:24A giant roar around the Emirates stadium
05:27Any moment now
05:30What a run, what a finish
05:35News has not been relayed just yet
05:40It has now, it has now
05:44Is that one of the bonuses of the VAR?
05:47Do you think you get to celebrate it twice?
05:50Am I looking at it too positively there?
05:52That's very VAR tinted spectacles
05:55As they look to build in the Premier League
05:58Cross up, brings it forward here for Arsenal
06:00As Martinelli to his left
06:02Second!
06:06And that should take care of that
06:09And that should take care of that
06:16Bukayo Saka at the heart of another Arsenal win
06:20He's set up the second
06:22And he has scored the third
06:24Arsenal three, Southampton one
06:29Well it's that man
06:31Abbott causing chaos again in the air
06:34Goes for the initial header
06:36It lands with Harwood-Bellas
06:38He then flicks it forward brilliantly to Trossard
06:40Who thinks he can drive through the heart of the defence
06:43And then it just ends up in the path of Saka
06:47Through a tackle from Sukuwawa
06:51And he just commits to it brilliantly, Saka
06:54Trossard tries the flick
06:56Here's the good fortune
06:58With a touch there from the Southampton defender
07:00But what a finish with the right foot
07:02Really punches it low into that bottom corner
07:05And that has put the game to bed you feel
07:12Well he scored here on the opening day
07:14Against Wolves in the Premier League
07:16And he has scored the decisive goal today
07:18His 49th Premier League goal in the colours of Arsenal
