He wants the ball back to his feet in the box - and was stood in space - but Walcott lofts it and Saints lose possession in a good area.
There is a chance for Southampton to nick a win here.

GOAL! Southampton 1-1 Arsenal (S Armstrong, 65)
ARSENAL PEGGED BACK!
Elyounoussi shows so much composure after receving the ball on the edge of the box, before feeding in Armstrong with a fine pass.
Armstrong delivers a neat finish to Ramsdale's left inside the penalty area.
The league leaders have let this slip. They need to wake up if they want to make it nine wins on the bounce.

Arsenal, though, look so strong when the ball comes into their box - whether from a throw-in or a set-piece.

There was a cry for a penalty for a foul on Jesus. Caleta-Car took a chance by holding on for so long, but the referee ignores the calls.
