ARSENAL cruised to a 3-0 victory over an underwhelming Southampton at a wet Ashburton Grove on Saturday afternoon.
First half goals from Alex Lacazette after emphatically finishing sweeping move with aplomb, and Martin Odegaard put the Gunners in command before Gabriel added a third after the break.
The home side also hit the post twice through Gabi Martinelli and Bukayo Saka in a convincing display.
