Arteta was under intense pressure after his side's poor tun and the Arsenal manager was shifting uncomfortably on the touchline when Theo Walcott put Southampton ahead in the first half on Wednesday.

However, Aubameyang ended a run of 11 games without a goal in open play with his second-half equaliser.

Arsenal had to play the last 28 minutes with 10 men after Gabriel Magalhaes was sent off for a second booking, but they held firm to avoid the ignominy of a fifth successive home league defeat.

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
