Arsenal Wins 2-1 at Southampton Secures Third Consecutive Premier League Second Place

Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Southampton on the final day of the Premier League season, clinching second place for the third consecutive year. Kieran Tierney opened the scoring just before halftime, likely in his final game for the club, while Ross Stewart equalized for Southampton early in the second half. Substitute Martin Odegaard scored a decisive goal in the 89th minute, securing Arsenal's first win at St Mary's in four years and ensuring Southampton's relegation after setting a Premier League record with 30 defeats. Despite injuries to key players, Arsenal finished the season with 74 points, 10 behind champions Liverpool, and goalkeeper David Raya claimed a share of the Premier League Golden Glove for the second consecutive season. The match also marked farewells for Arsenal players Kieran Tierney and Jorginho, with contract talks ongoing for Thomas Partey. Arsenal's resilience throughout the season, including reaching two cup semi-finals, has been praised given the squad's injury challenges.
