Half-time of an evenly-balanced match at the Emirates - Arsenal have had the chances, Southampton have looked dangerous on the break.
45'
One minute of additional time. Gabriel checks a run down the right by Mane, Bertrand then is unable to beat Bellerin down the Arsenal right..
44'
Wanyama blocks Ozil after good work down the right from Campbell, though the German had an easier pass down the right channel for Ramsey.
43'
Van Dijk is able to clear Alexis' corner, then the Southampton bank of defenders are able to force Arsenal back.
42'
CHANCE: Fonte gets in front of Giroud to block the diving header from Alexis' flick at the far post.
40'
CHANCE: Mane is left alone by Gabriel in the area from second phase possession but Gabriel then recovers and does really well to lean the Southampton player off the ball.
39'
Flamini concedes the corner, but the short corner is cleared away.
38'
Flamini then concedes a foul on Mane near the centre circle What was I saying? Mane's pass to Cedric on the overlap is poor from the subsequent move, and the full-back crosses straight out of play.
37'
Long pushes Bellerin off the ball, and referee Mason blows the whistle - Mason has been reluctantly to blow up for fouls and the game has been quite open as a result.
36'
Ramsay gives the ball away in midfield, and there are a few moans around the Emirates at another attack breaking down.

Mane almost robs last defender Gabriel, and the Southampton forward thumps the ground in frustration as he knows that he had a clear run of goal if he had won the ball there.

CHANCE: Tadic is trying to get the ball on his left foot, and cuts back on the edge of the area, but the shot, when it eventually comes, is straight at Cech.
29'
Ramsey hesitates when trying to find Bellerin, but good work by Romeu to block the ball and cut out a chance to counter attack.
