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
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
Villa are one down at United now - meaning Newcastle leapfrog back into the Champions League places. Unai Emery will be absolutely furious.
Southampton vs Arsenal official attendance given as 31,289 here at St Mary’s Stadium
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
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...?
As the cheering Gunners fans sing Kai Havertz's name
Myles Lewis Skelly replaces Alex Zinchenko as Gabi Martinelli is replaced by Kai Havertz
And now they're signing Aaron Ramsdale's name in honour of the former Gunners keeper
As if on cue, the loyal Arsenal support now chorus Gabi Martinelli's name here at Southampton
Zinchenko has a shot blocked
Arsenal fans sing Gabriel's name loudly - the No6, the King of Brazil, not Gabi Martinelli...
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
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
Southampton 1-1 Arsenal
56 - GOAL - Saints Ross Stewart equalises for the home side - with his first goal since January 2023
55 - Saints Jay Robinson powers onto the box before unleashing a testing effort that Raya palms away
52 - Ramsdale saves from Ethan Nwaneri
And we're off again here at St Mary's with Arsenal winning 1-0
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
If ever a player deserved a goal today it would be Tierney. What a loyal servant to the club.
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
GOAL to Arsenal!
40 - Ramsdale saves from Martineli after a long punt forward
30 - On the half hour Mateus Fernandes crossed for Ross Stewart to head wide. Unsurprisingly, given that Stewart hasn't scored since January 2023
26 - Thomas Partey fires in a long shot that former Gunner Aaron Ramsdale gathers comfortably
23 - Mikel Merino's header thuds the bar from Gabi Martinelli's corner
Apparently former PM Rishi Sunak is here as well. Whatever happened to him...?
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
Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is here at St Mary's - who would you have him sign?
A nice touch by Southampton to make former Gunner Aaron Ramsdale Saints captain in recognition of his service to the Gunners
Good to note the Arsenal fans are in good voice at Southampton
And we're off
Good to note the traveling Arsenal fans have been singing Kieran Tierney's name before kick-off
Kieran Tierney starts for Arsenal in what will be his fin al game for the Gunners. What a servant
