Bukayo Saka was star of the show and he impressed Mikel Arteta, grabbing a goal and two assists to continue his fine form.
Of course, it’s not all down to Saka as to why Arsenal do keep winning games and he needed his teammates yesterday just as much as they needed him.
Mikel Arteta has very much installed a team ethos around The Emirates and that transmits into the performances we see.
And according to Micah Richards, Arsenal are now doing something that isn’t even that obvious.
Speaking about the way Arsenal got back into the game against Southampton before seeing them off, Richards picked up the tactical element of the Gunners’ play.
And pointing out a very specific action, Richards believes Arsenal have become brilliant at setting traps for the opposition to walk into.
”What’s so great about Arsenal is the way they press, and the way they can adapt to what opponents they are playing.
“They set traps here, they sort of play 4-4-2 at times when they press, and Jorginho and Rice were really aggressive in going high,” Richards said on BBC MOTD.
