Arsenal comes from behind to beat Southampton in EPL

London: Arsenal came from behind to maintain their unbeaten start to the season against winless Southampton at Emirates Stadium in London.

Two goals in 10 second-half minutes from Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli ensured the Gunners made a full recovery after being stunned by Cameron Archer's opener for the visitors, before Bukayo Saka confirmed the three points late on.

It meant Arsenal became only the second club in the English Premier League (EPL) history to record 400 home wins, and they remain within one point of EPL pace-setters Liverpool before the international break, BBC sports reported.

Southampton, who still only have one point after seven games, had struggled amid incessant Arsenal pressure from the outset but, albeit at times unconvincingly, the visitors successfully held out until half-time.
