Nigeria international, Alex Iwobi returned to action with Arsenal, as the Gunners secured a stoppage time penalty to beat Southampton 2-1 on Saturday.
Iwobi came on to replace Theo Walcott in the 75th minute after he had missed Arsenal’s last two games as a result of muscle injury.
His first game this season was the season’s opener where the Gunners bowed 3-4 to Liverpool at the Emirates.
The Saints on Saturday took the lead in the 18th minute when Petr Cech tipped a Dusan Tadic free-kick onto the underside of the bar, but the ball bounced in off the former Chelsea goalkeeper.
Laurent Koscielny equalised with a spectacular overhead kick in the 29th minute after Cazorla’s corner was not cleared.
Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger gave debuts to both his recent signings, £35m centre-back Shkodran Mustafi and £17m forward Lucas Perez.
A World Cup winner with Germany, Mustafi instantly looked comfortable in his new surroundings, having more touches (94) and playing more passes (86) than anyone else on the pitch, frequently stepping up into the Saints half when he was on the ball.
The Gunners wasted a couple of scoring chances in the dying minutes of the game.
The match was heading for a stalemate when Cazorla converted a penalty kick awarded his side after Jose Fonte was judged to have fouled Olivier Giroud in the box.
