Arsenal’s title hopes suffered another setback on Friday after playing a 3-3 draw with relegation battling Southampton at the Emirate.
Premier League leaders Arsenal scored two goals in two minutes to level up with the Saints in a very thrilling English Premier League encounter.
The Saints led after just 28 seconds, when Carlos Alcaraz capitalized on an Aaron Ramsdale error to score.
Arsenal have now conceded the two fastest goals at home in the Premier League this season, the other being Philip Billing’s strike after 9.11 seconds for Bournemouth.
Former gunners player, Theo Walcott doubled the Southampton lead before Gabriel Martinelli pulled one back for the league leaders.
Duje Caleta-Car restored the Southampton two-goal advantage and appeared to seal the three points – only for Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka to score in the 88th and 90th minutes to earn a draw.
The Norwegian Odegaard then scored a goal in the 88th minute to reduce the deficit for the home team before Bukayo Saka equalized on 90 minute to restore parity for the gunners.
All effort to snatch a late winner proved abortive as both sides settled for a 3-3 draw in a pulsating EPL encounter.
The result means the Gunners have drawn three straight games starting from Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at Anfield, Westham and now Southampton.
Southampton remain bottom of the table and three points from safety, having now failed to win in seven league games.
Second place Manchester City will try to play catch up with the Gunners as they trail with five points with two games in hand.
Both teams then will settle scores at the Etihad on the 26th of April in what seem like a title-deciding encounter.
