English Premier League: Arsenal managed to salvage a point during a chaotic 3-3 draw against Southampton in the Premier League. The Gunners have seemingly lost their grip in the title race having drawn two consecutive matches in the top flight. Mikel Arteta's side sits at the top with 75 points but Manchester City have an edge having played two games less than the North Londoners.
