Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League has been cut to just two points after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton on Sunday.
The Gunners headed into the weekend four points ahead of Manchester City, but the champions cut that gap by defeating Brighton on Saturday. Mikel Arteta's side were unable to reply with a victory of their own after Stuart Armstrong restored parity for the Saints, who had fallen behind to a first-half strike from Granit Xhaka.
Arsenal's attention will now turn to next weekend when they host struggling Nottingham Forest, but here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest news from the Emirates Stadium...
Jesus' post-Southampton demand
Gabriel Jesus and his Arsenal teammates endured a frustrating afternoon on the south coast on Sunday - but he has urged the Gunners to bounce back quickly to keep their title dream alive.
Jesus spurned a host of golden chances to down the Saints, who produced a much improved performance after the break to pinch a share of the spoils. The stalemate at St Marys' was only the second time this season that Arsenal have dropped points in the Premier League, but Jesus is adamant that his team can respond in the right way.
And the Brazilian striker believes that Arsenal can still “increase the level” before the season pauses for the World Cup next month.
Arteta makes "struggling" admission
Join the debate! What did you make of Arsenal's performance against Southampton? Let us know here.
Mikel Arteta has conceded that Arsenal 'struggled' to cope with Southampton's direct approach in the second-half after watching his side slip up against Ralph Hassenhuttl's men.
The Gunners dominated the first-half but they were pushed back - and pegged back - by their hosts after the break. And Arteta bemoaned the chances his side spurned in the first-half after the match.
"We had three or four good opportunities and should have scored more. We needed two or three goals, but only scored one," the Arsenal manager told BBC Sport.
"It's disappointing. We created enough chances but couldn't put the ball away. It's a lesson because we wanted to win again. They put us under more pressure through direct play in the second half, and we were struggling."
Arsenal 'told no' after Martinez bid
Ajax chief executive Edwin van der Sar has revealed that Arsenal received a "firm no" after enquiring for Lisandro Martinez in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners had designs on snaring the Argentina centre-half, but Ajax were reluctant to cash in on the defender.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag eventually raided his old club to bring Martinez and Brazilian forward Antony to Old Trafford, but Van Der Sar was adamant that the duo would have been better served by staying in Amsterdam for another 12 months.
