LONDON (Reuters) - Southampton manager Ruben Selles could not hide his disappointment after his side were denied a priceless victory at Premier League leaders Arsenal in a 3-3 draw on Friday.
Goals by Carlos Alcaraz and Theo Walcott inside 15 minutes gave Southampton a shock early lead and when Duje Caleta-Car made it 3-1 in the 66th minute it appeared the Saints were set for a first win in seven league games.
But goals in the 88th and 90th minutes by Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka broke Southampton's hearts. "We took our chances really well and we knew they'd come on in the second half. It's a good point to come here, but we are disappointed not to take all three," he said.
