Freddie Ljungberg scored seconds before the half-time whistle to give Arsenal a 1-0 lead against 10-man Southampton at St Mary's today.

Ljungberg scored three minutes into first half injury time, tapping home after Henry's cross-shot fell to him.

Earlier David Prutton was sent off for two vicious tackles, the second which forced Robert Pires off.

Prutton's violent reaction towards the linesman could see him face further trouble from the FA.
