- Arsenal came from behind to beat Southampton 3-1 on Saturday
- Goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz secured the win
- Gunners' best-performing players from crucial Premier League victory
Arsenal continued their impressive unbeaten start to the 2024/25 season with yet another win at the weekend.
The 3-1 victory over Southampton was the Gunners' fourth success on the spin in all competitions and extended their unbeaten run to ten games heading into the October international break.
Goals from Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and substitute Gabriel Martinelli were enough to secure another three points in the Premier League, helping Mikel Arteta's side keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool in the title race.
Here's Arsenal best-performing players in the win.
Arsenal's best player vs Southampton
Bukayo Saka: 9/10
As he usually is, Bukayo Saka was Arsenal's best player on Saturday afternoon.
The club's 'Starboy' was instrumental in the second-half comeback, setting up Havertz and Martinelli's goals before netting one himself in the dying embers of the game. His two assists were two of seven chances he created for his teammates in the win.
Saka's three goal contributions took his tally for the season to ten in ten appearances in all competitions. He's world class, there's no doubt about it.
Honourable mentions
Kai Havertz: 8/10
It's fair to say Kai Havertz is in the form of his life right now.
The fact the German's goal against Southampton meant he became just the fifth player in history to score in seven straight home games for Arsenal is proof of that.
The sheer quality of the finish itself was as well, with Havertz showing immense confidence and class to curl into the bottom corner of the net from the edge of the box.
Gabriel Martinelli: 8/10
Things might be finally starting to click for Gabriel Martinelli again.
After netting his first goal of the season against Leicester City last weekend, Martinelli came off the bench to add a second to his tally on Saturday afternoon. Nice one.
