London, April 16

Southampton ended a five-match winless run in the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Arsenal at St Mary's Stadium, dealing further damage to the visitors' hopes of finishing in the top-four this season.

Mikel Arteta's side have slipped to sixth place in the standings on 54 points, level with Manchester United and three behind north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur but with a game in hand over both teams.

Jan Bednarek gave Southampton a narrow lead one minute before halftime after Mohamed Elyounoussi evaded the offside trap and crossed for the defender to finish past goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to hand Arsenal their third straight defeat.

Ronaldo hat-trick

Cristiano Ronaldo's 50th club career hat-trick earned below-par Manchester United a 3-2 victory over Norwich City amid scenes of fan protest at Old Trafford.

With Tottenham Hotspur losing 1-0 at home to Brighton amp; Hove Albion earlier, the door was open for United to close on the Champions League qualification places with victory over bottom side Norwich and they just about took advantage. — Reuters
