Martin Odegaard hit a late winner as Arsenal ended their season with a 2-1 win at bottom club Southampton, who finished the season with just 12 points.
Mikel Arteta’s Gunners only needed a point to mathematically secure second place in the Premier League and took all three at the end, in the process setting a new record for most consecutive final-day matches won.
The visitors were frustrated for most of their final league game, and their last before the transfer window. Mikel Merino struck the bar, while Gabriel Martinelli saw a one-on-one saved by former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Instead, their opener came from an unlikely source in Kieran Tierney. Playing his last game before rejoining Celtic on a free transfer, the defender finished at the near post from Ben White’s cross and celebrated wildly.
But Arsenal were pegged back after the break. After Saints debutant Jay Robinson tested David Raya with a near-post drive, the home side levelled from the resulting corner as Ross Stewart headed home from close range for his first goal since January 2023.

Despite that, Raya still shared the Golden Glove, as Nottingham Forest’s Matz Sels also failed to keep a clean sheet, with the pair tied on 13 shutouts for the season.
Arsenal pushed for a winner, as Martinelli saw an effort cleared off the line by Yuki Sugawara, while substitute Bukayo Saka had a goal disallowed for offside after Declan Rice saw an effort well saved by Ramsdale.
But then Odegaard exchanged passes with fellow substitute Leandro Trossard to rifle a shot into the bottom corner. The result means Arsenal have set a new top-flight record of 14 straight final-day matches won – breaking Liverpool’s streak set in 1924.
Not quite a trophy, but a positive note to end on.
More to follow.

Rizek indica “vítima” da arbitragem no Brasileirão: “Era óbvio”
André Rizek, apresentador do Seleção SporTV (Reprodução) André Rizek considera que houve uma compensação no duelo entre Grêmio x Bahia. Levando em conta a eliminação do Tricolor na Copa do Brasil, com um gol polêmico sendo anulado, o pênalti marcado sobre Braithwaite foi visto como uma forma de reparar o erro atrelado ao lance anterior. Neste cenário, a equipe de Rogério Ceni “pagou o pato” e e saiu derrotada por 1 a 0. Em lance com Marcos Felipe, Braithwaite caiu na área e, através da revisão do VAR, o pênalti ganhou confirmação. Chamando a responsabilidade, o atacante converteu o arremate e garantiu três pontos cruciais para o Grêmio. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Era óbvio que o Bahia hoje pagaria o pato do erro grosseiro contra o Grêmio na Copa do Brasil. A arbitragem brasileira é tão ruim quanto previsível.”, escreveu Rizek, na […]
