Arsenal travelled to an out-of-form Southampton on Boxing Day knowing that three points would move them above Leicester City to the top of the Premier League table.
It was the hosts that took the lead at St Mary's, however, courtesy of a wonderful strike from Cuco Martina in the 19th minute and that effort separated the two teams at the interval.
Southampton then had their second in the 55th minute when Shane Long converted a low cross from Sadio Mane, before Jose Fonte added a third from a corner 20 minutes from time.
Ronald Koeman's side were not finished, however, and Long scored his second in the second minute of added time to make it a miserable night for the Gunners.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's minute-by-minute live commentary of the action below.
SAINTS: Stekelenburg; Martina, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand; Clasie, Wanyama, Davis; Ward-Prowse, Long, Mane
ARSENAL: Cech; Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Flamini, Ramsey; Walcott, Ozil, Campbell; Giroud
Great goal 😡
