LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Arsenal bounced back from conceding a goal to lowly Southampton to win 3-1 after a pulsating second half in their Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, with winger Bukayo Saka instrumental in the Gunners' victory.

Bukayo Saka is a footballer of many qualities and in recent months he has added another to his repertoire: leadership. At the age of 23, Saka is no longer the polite academy graduate who sparkles on the wing.

It was a comfortable win for Arsenal in the end, thanks to Saka and Havertz stepping up against Southampton. We rate all the Gunners here.

Southampton ’s joy in Cameron Archer giving them a shock lead only served to awaken Arsenal, who went from a very flat display to one where they came at the visiting side from all angles. That eventually resulted in a rousing 3-1 win, although one that was more difficult than it might have been.

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara believes Bukayo Saka is not world class and puts Chelsea’s Cole Palmer ahead of the Arsenal winger. Saka is set to play another integral role in Arsenal’s push to win the Premier League title and has made an excellent start to the campaign with three goals and seven assists in all competitions so far.

This seemed to wake Arsenal up and minutes later they were level when Kai Havertz seized on Bukayo Saka's through ball to grab the equaliser. The Gunners then completed the turnaround as Gabriel Martinelli stayed just onside to tap home Saka's superb cross.
