Southampton has halted Arsenal’s run of five consecutive Premier League victories after league leaders managed to hang on with ten men to secure a 1-1 draw Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Jose Fonte\u00a0put the Saints ahead after they dominated the opening half but two goals in three minutes just after the break looked to put Arsenal on their way.<\/p>\n
Olivier Giroud’s equaliser for the Gunners, two minutes into the second half was quickly followed by Santi Cazorla, who doubled the visitors goals in the 51st minute.<\/p>\n
The hosts hit straight back with a goal of their own two minutes later\u00a0through Adam Lalana’s \u00a0left footed shot from the center of the box.<\/p>\n
Both sides had chances to win the match as Southampton\u00a0finished the stronger following Flamini\u2019s bad challenge on Morgan Schneiderlin.<\/p>\n
Robin Van Persie and Ashley Young scored as Manchester United beat Cardif City 2-0 as Spanish midfielder Juan Mata made his debut for the champions at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
RVP headed home after David Marshall had saved his first effort, moments after Antonio Valencia had hit the crossbar, just six minutes into the game.<\/p>\n
Ashley Young sealed the victory in the second half after cutting in from the left and firing home from 22 yards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
