- Awful start by Arsenal
WHAT HAPPENED? Aaron Ramsdale gifted Southampton the lead after just 28 seconds of Arsenal's Premier League clash against Southampton at the Emirates on Friday.
The goalkeeper passed the ball straight to Carlos Alcaraz, who took a touch and then whipped the ball past the England international to make it 1-0. Alcaraz then pulled out a Cristiano Ronaldo 'siiuuu' celebration after netting his third Premier League goal of the season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott then made it 2-0 on 14 minutes. Alcarez threaded an incisive pass through to the 34-year-old, who produced a superb low finish to beat Ramsdale. Arsenal responded quickly this time, with Gabriel Martinelli firing home a cross from Bukayo Saka to make it 2-1.
WHAT NEXT? Arsenal's next game is a crunch clash against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, April 26.
