Read the full Arsenal ratings below:
GK) Emiliano Martinez – 6
Had little to do in the way of saves, but dealt well with several high crosses and looked comfortable throughout.
RB) Calum Chambers – 7
Bombed forward down the right hand side, and caused Southampton plenty of problems. Did his defensive duties well – impressive.
