He tried to pass the ball out along the ground from just outside his box and it was blocked by Nketiah. The result was Arsenal went 0-1 up.
The Arsenal player ran onto the loose ball and tapped it into an empty net from one or two yards. He was rewarded for going to close down the goalkeeper's clearance. He forced the error and got a goal. Nketiah's teammates were delighted at getting the all important first goal while McCarthy's face said it all.
It is an important game for the Gunners in their battle for a Europa League spot while Southampton lie in 14th, but 10 points above the bottom three.
