Santi Cazorla made no mistake from the spot as he sealed the 2-1 victory, ensuring Arsenal walk away with maximum points from the encounter.

FC's Craig Burley explains how new signings Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez will influence Arsenal.

The Premier League, however, is not a competition in which big clubs can take liberties with team selection and Southampton started the sharper and took a deserved lead.

Arsene Wenger breathed a sigh of relief after Arsenal won a stoppage-time penalty against Southampton and Santi Cazorla struck a 94th-minute victor to secure a 2-1 win on Saturday (Sept 10).

Speaking after the game, the Arsenal boss said, "It's a relief".

"When you lose the first home game you can not afford to drop points in the second".

Mesut Ozil went looking for Perez after a bright spell from the hosts, with Jose Fonte cutting out the pass. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain didn't fare much better.

Arsenal have won their last two league fixtures, while Southampton are still searching for their first win of the campaign.

Arsenal's match-winner Cazorla, meanwhile, added: "I had a lot of time to think about where to shoot my penalty, but I kept calm".
