English Premier League
Olivier Giroud's last-gasp header salvaged a point for Arsenal in a 1-1 draw at Southampton yesterday as Arsene Wenger's side avoided a second successive Premier League defeat. Wenger's team appeared destined to follow last weekend's home loss to Man United with another setback when they trailed to Charlie Austin's third minute goal. But France striker Giroud conjured a response with two minutes left when he directed Alexis Sanchez's cross past Fraser Forster shortly after appearing as a substitute.
