Southampton are relegated, but after a 0-0 draw against Manchester City last round, the Saints were adamant about leaving the Premier League with a shock win, or points against Arsenal. For a long time, it looked like Arsenal would do as City, but captain Ødegaard ended the season with the goal the supporters have been waiting for.
After 56 minutes it was 1-1, even though it was a match between no. 20 and no. 2. The Southampton players sacrificed themselves as it should be a cup final.

Will Still is ready to take over the management of Southampton, the young manager could see his players show good, old, English all-in football. The referee looked at the clock with one minute left of the game and thought this was probably going to be a draw, but Martin Ødegard would end the season for the visiting supporters with one last goal. The captain knocked in a goal from outside the box, a 1-2 win for Arsenal and a 2nd place in the Premier League.
This was Ødegaard’s puzzled PL-3rd goal of the season, but perfectly timed as a conclusion and into the new season. We congratulate Ødegaard and Arsenal on their third second place in a row. Just today we should forget that there are three seasons with “first loser’s place”, it shows a continuity that is impressive.
