Arsenal made a nightmare start in Friday's Premier League game against Southampton as an error by keeper Aaron Ramdale gifted the away side a 1-0 lead inside 30 seconds.

Ramsdale's under-hit pass for Oleksandr Zinchenko was intercepted by Carlos Alcaraz, who produced a clean finish from just outside of the penalty area.

Alcaraz then celebrated the goal by imitating Cristiano Ronaldo's 'SIU' routine.

This was not the earliest goal conceded by the Gunners at home this season.

Bournemouth scored at the Emirates Stadium after just nine seconds in March.

Arsenal went on to beat Bournemouth 3-2 in that game.

But they had to settle for a point on Friday as Southampton claimed a 3-3 draw in north London.

It could have been worse for Arsenal, who were losing 3-1 until the 88th minute.
