  3. Keith Morrow : 18:02 #7600

    FT: Southampton 1-2 Arsenal. The Gunners win their final game of the season here at Southampton as the travelling fans bid farewell to Jorginho and Kieran Tierney while also singing Aaron Ramsdale's name

  4. Keith Morrow : 17:48 #7599

    Goal! Saints 1-2 Arsenal. Martin Odegaard fires home on 90 minutes from outside the box with a superb low drive to put the Gunners ahead here at St Mary’s

  5. Keith Morrow : 17:43 #7598

    Villa are one down at United now - meaning Newcastle leapfrog back into the Champions League places. Unai Emery will be absolutely furious.

  6. Keith Morrow : 17:40 #7597

    Southampton vs Arsenal official attendance given as 31,289 here at St Mary’s Stadium

  7. Keith Morrow : 17:34 #7596

    Saka has the ball in the net but is ruled offside. VAR checking just in case but the Gunners attacker looked off...with VAR confirming shortly afterwards. 76 minutes and it's still Saints 1-1 Arsenal here at St Mary's

  8. Keith Morrow : 17:32 #7595

    Interesting to note that Newcastle are now losing at home to Everton and are currently out of the Champions League places. How would that play with Alexander Isak and his representatives if the Magpies were to finish sixth I wonder...?

  9. Keith Morrow : 17:27 #7594

    As the cheering Gunners fans sing Kai Havertz's name

  10. Keith Morrow : 17:27 #7593

    Myles Lewis Skelly replaces Alex Zinchenko as Gabi Martinelli is replaced by Kai Havertz

  11. Keith Morrow : 17:25 #7592

    And now they're signing Aaron Ramsdale's name in honour of the former Gunners keeper

  12. Keith Morrow : 17:24 #7591

    As if on cue, the loyal Arsenal support now chorus Gabi Martinelli's name here at Southampton

  13. Keith Morrow : 17:23 #7590

    Zinchenko has a shot blocked

  14. Keith Morrow : 17:23 #7589

    Arsenal fans sing Gabriel's name loudly - the No6, the King of Brazil, not Gabi Martinelli...

  15. Keith Morrow : 17:21 #7588

    Kieran's Tierney is substituted to huge applause from the Arsenal contingent after playing what will surely be his final game for the club before returning to Celtic

  16. Keith Morrow : 17:20 #7587

    Interesting to note new Saints boss Will Still is also in the stands today, ahead of next season's task to return Southampton to the Premier League

  17. Keith Morrow : 17:14 #7586

    Southampton 1-1 Arsenal

  18. Keith Morrow : 17:14 #7585

    56 - GOAL - Saints Ross Stewart equalises for the home side - with his first goal since January 2023

  19. Keith Morrow : 17:13 #7584

    55 - Saints Jay Robinson powers onto the box before unleashing a testing effort that Raya palms away

  20. Keith Morrow : 17:09 #7583

    52 - Ramsdale saves from Ethan Nwaneri

  21. Keith Morrow : 17:06 #7582

    And we're off again here at St Mary's with Arsenal winning 1-0

  22. Keith Morrow : 16:47 #7581

    And that's half time here at St Mary's with the sore Southampton 0-1 Arsenal after Kieran Tierney scored in the 43rd minute of what will surely be his final match for the Gunners before heading back to his spiritual home Celtic Park this summer

  23. Keith Morrow : 16:46 #7580

    If ever a player deserved a goal today it would be Tierney. What a loyal servant to the club.

  24. Keith Morrow : 16:46 #7579

    43 - Goal! Southampton 0-1 Arsenal - Kieran Tierney slots home from Ben White's cross to put the Gunners ahead here at St Mary's

  25. Keith Morrow : 16:45 #7578

    GOAL to Arsenal!

  26. Keith Morrow : 16:40 #7577

    40 - Ramsdale saves from Martineli after a long punt forward

  27. Keith Morrow : 16:37 #7576

    30 - On the half hour Mateus Fernandes crossed for Ross Stewart to head wide. Unsurprisingly, given that Stewart hasn't scored since January 2023

  28. Keith Morrow : 16:27 #7575

    26 - Thomas Partey fires in a long shot that former Gunner Aaron Ramsdale gathers comfortably

  29. Keith Morrow : 16:24 #7574

    23 - Mikel Merino's header thuds the bar from Gabi Martinelli's corner

  30. Keith Morrow : 16:21 #7573

    Apparently former PM Rishi Sunak is here as well. Whatever happened to him...?

  31. Keith Morrow : 16:19 #7572

    Also in the stands this afternoon is Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta who is seeing a one match touchline ban after picking up his third yellow card of the season during last week's 1-0 win over Newcastle

  32. Keith Morrow : 16:10 #7571

    Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is here at St Mary's - who would you have him sign?

  33. Keith Morrow : 16:08 #7570

    A nice touch by Southampton to make former Gunner Aaron Ramsdale Saints captain in recognition of his service to the Gunners

  34. Keith Morrow : 16:06 #7569

    Good to note the Arsenal fans are in good voice at Southampton

  35. Keith Morrow : 16:00 #7568

    And we're off

  36. Keith Morrow : 15:58 #7567

    Good to note the traveling Arsenal fans have been singing Kieran Tierney's name before kick-off

  37. Keith Morrow : 15:58 #7566

    Kieran Tierney starts for Arsenal in what will be his fin al game for the Gunners. What a servant
