Gunners dropped their first points after five premier league games as they were held to a 2-2 draw by an impressive Southampton side.
Arsenal were not quite up to the task mainly in the first half as the home side completely dominated play and ended the half leading the league leaders.
Moreover, the visitors were shaky at the back and could have easily conceded more than once in the opening 45 minutes.
In the second half Arsenal came back to life with their flowing football and it took them 3 minutes after the break to go level thanks to Giroud.
Minutes later Cazorla scored to give Arsenal the lead but immediately Southampton responded with a goal by Lallana to level the game again.
Arsenal will be disappointed to lose two points but Saints completely deserved it with their display. City now have the chance to go top of the premier league tonight when they face Spurs.
Moreover, even Chelsea can leapfrog Arsenal on goal difference if they beat the Hammers by 2 goals margin at the Bridge.
