Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott were forced to settle for a point when the pair returned with Arsenal to their former club Southampton.
Gaston Ramirez put the Saints a goal up when the Uruguayan pounced on a loose ball in the area to slot the ball past Wojciech Szczesny.
But they were pegged back by the Gunners when a Walcott free-kick was turned in by Southampton striker Guly do Prado as he attempted to clear his lines.
No chance: Gaston Ramirez slid the ball into the net to open the scoring
