Is either they sell Him or terminate my contract,Me and Him cannot be playing together again”, Gabriel Jesus angered by ONE Arsenal player decision who refused to pass the ball for Him to score against Southampton, asked the board to put Him on transfer market by January for Him to regain back His scoring form– Not Saka and Not Havertz
Arsenal have picked up a 3-1 win against Southampton in the Premier League.
The Gunners started the game in magnificent style and were all over the Saints. However, they couldn’t get a goal past Aaron Ramsdale in the first half.
Arsenal started the second half in sloppy fashion. Cameron Archer gave Southampton the lead and that woke the Gunners up.
Kai Havertz equalised almost immediately before Gabriel Martinelli found the net to give them the lead. Bukayo Saka added a late goal to seal the game.
Arsenal player ratings vs Southampton
David Raya: 7/10
Raya had nothing to do in the first half and he couldn’t do much with the goal in the second. He will be frustrated to have conceded, though.
Thomas Partey: 7/10
Partey started at right back for the first time in over a year, and he had a decent game there but did not overlap as much as a natural right-back would. He did have two shots at goal and was arguably unlucky to not score.
William Saliba: 6/10
Saliba deserves some blame for Southampton’s goal. The Frenchman, surprisingly, allowed Cameron Archer to cut inside, and that gave him the space he needed to score.
Gabriel Magalhaes: 7.5/10
Gabriel had a solid game once again in the heart of the defence. The Brazilian is getting better and better every week, but we’re sure he will be disappointed to have not troubled Ramsdale during set-pieces.
Riccardo Calafiori: 8.5/10
Calafiori was outstanding once again. The Italian looks so calm on the ball, is very brave while attacking, and just has this incredible aura about him. Another fantastic display.
Jorginho: 7/10
Jorginho was deployed in Partey’s usual position against the Saints and he did well. He controlled the game as well as he could and didn’t have much to do defensively.
Declan Rice: 7.5/10
Rice worked very hard from midfield yet again. He ran all game, was tidy on the ball and did whatever little defensive work he had without too much trouble.
Raheem Sterling: 7/10
Sterling got his first Premier League start for Arsenal against the Saints and he looked really sharp. He got himself into a few good positions and came close to winning a penalty too. But, it was his loss of possession that led to Southampton’s goal.
Kai Havertz: 9/10
Havertz was outstanding once again. We didn’t like that he was pushed back to a midfield role, but he did really well. His movement was outstanding, his work rate was terrific and he scored a stunning goal too.
Bukayo Saka: 9.5/10
Saka was absolutely fantastic against the Saints. He troubled their defenders from the first minute of the game and then ended up picking up two assists in the second half. He scored a brilliant goal late in the game too. Outstanding performance!
Gabriel Jesus: 4/10
Arteta made the surprise decision to hand Jesus a start, but it didn’t quite work. The Brazilian started well and looked sharp, but he just disappeared as the game went on. Jesus even angered Saka when he failed to pass the ball to him – that decision could’ve cost Arsenal. Luckily, it didn’t.
Substitutes
Leandro Trossard: 8/10
Trossard came off the bench and instantly lifted Arsenal’s level. He did everything that Jesus should’ve done and showed why he is above the Brazilian in the pecking order.
Gabriel Martinelli: 8.5/10
Martinelli brought some much-needed energy into the game and that helped Arsenal massively. He scored a very good goal as well to give them the lead. A great performance from the Brazilian.
Mikel Merino: 6/10
It was great to see Merino again. The Spaniard didn’t do anything spectacular, but he did what he had to do to help Arsenal get over the line.
Takehiro Tomiyasu: 5/10
Tomiyasu came on late to replace Partey at right-back. He has returned from his injury at the perfect time as Arsenal are very short of options at right-back with both Jurrien Timber and Ben White injured.
Jakub Kiwior: 5/10
The Pole came on just before the start of second-half stoppage time and didn’t have much to do.
