Arsenal’s Final Game Victory: A dramatic late strike from Odegaard secures a 2-1 win over Southampton, closing the season with triumph.
Arsenal secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium, wrapping up their 2024/25 Premier League campaign with Arsenal’s final game victory. A late strike from Martin Odegaard sealed the win for the Gunners, ensuring their third consecutive second-place finish in the league.
The game started with Arsenal dominating possession, controlling 62% of the ball. Their persistence paid off in the 42nd minute, when Kieran Tierney found the net, giving Arsenal a 1-0 lead just before halftime. However, Southampton responded in the 55th minute, with Ross Stewart heading in an equalizer from a corner.
With the match seemingly heading for a draw, Odegaard stepped up in the 88th minute, firing a stunning 25-yard strike past Southampton’s goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to secure the win. The victory marked Arsenal’s first win at St. Mary’s in four years.
Despite conceding, David Raya claimed a share of the Premier League Golden Glove, retaining the award for the second consecutive season. Arsenal’s defensive resilience ensured they finished the season without conceding more than two goals in any match.
Arsenal’s victory capped off a strong season, securing second place behind champions Liverpool. Meanwhile, Southampton’s defeat confirmed their relegation to the Championship, ending a disappointing campaign with just two wins all season.
