at Ashburton Grove

ARSENAL came from behind to post another victory ahead of the international break. 

Goals from Kai Havertz, substitute Gabriel Martinelli and a late third by Bukayo Saka cancelled out Cameron Archer’s opener 10 minutes after the interval, as the Gunners remained level with Manchester City on 17 points, with table-toppers Liverpool a point ahead.

The Gunners welcomed back former keeper Aaron Ramsdale, who was part of an obdurate Saints backline.
