Arsenal 2-2 Southampton: Alexandre Lacazette scores injury-time equaliser to spare Gunners' blushes

Things need to improve, Arsenal chiefs told a meeting of club staff during the international break. Alexandre Lacazette's 96th minute goal salvaged a point for Arsenal against Southampton after a dismal display James Ward-Prowse saw his penalty saved by Bernd Leno but he tapped home the rebound to make it 2-1 Lacazette's close range finish on 18 minutes after the ball had ricocheted fortuitously into his path made it 1-1 Danny Ings stunned Arsenal after his excellent finish put Southampton 1-0 in front after just eight minutes at the Emirates MATCH FACTS, PLAYER RATINGS AND LEAGUE TABLE ARSENAL : Leno 6; Chambers 6, Sokratis 6, Luiz 6; Bellerin 6 Guendouzi 6.5, Torreira 6, Tierney 7; Ozil 7; Lacazette 7.5, Aubameyang 7.

Arsenal were caught cold by a quick free-kick which allowed Ings to run through on goal and finish expertly into the corner Emery gesticulated frantically at his players to get in position but his orders appeared to have minimal effect Lacazette's equaliser on 18 minutes gave Arsenal and Emery some respite but their performance failed to improve Before that Arsenal had begun incredibly sloppily, five different players either needlessly conceding possession or misjudging the ball inside the first five minutes. Ward-Prowse saw his penalty saved but he converted the rebound and looked to have given Southampton a shock win Arsenal breathed a sigh of relief when Lacazette scored his and the Gunners' second of the afternoon deep into injury-time Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl cut a dejected figure after watching his side concede a late equaliser Initially, they continued to look uncertain defensively and Leno had to dive full stretch to prevent a Lucas Torreira own goal minutes into the second half.
