Arsenal solidified their place at the top of the Premier League table with a challenging win over AFC Bournemouth. In one of the most dominant games of their season, the Gunners wasted plenty of first-half chances but mercifully took away maximum points.

Bukayo Saka gavethe Gunners the lead from the penalty spot after a lengthy VAR check. Leandro Trossard then did enough to get the job done, firing in a curling effort supplied by Declan Rice who then scored himself in stoppage time.

With the game square inside the first 32 minutes, Arsenal were dominant and were into double figures in terms of chances. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard had multiple attempts but he Cherries' defence remained strong.

On the half-hour mark, however, Bournemouth began to get a lot more of the ball as a lull in the Gunners’ play emerged. Struggling to get it back, Gabriel produced a fine tackle just outside the ‘D’ but instead of calmly playing the ball out to a teammate, he opted for a massive kick out of play to the groans of the crowd.

Thomas Partey immediately spun, outstretched arms to question his teammate’s decision. Arsenal needed calmness to gain back dominance which they did soon after with Saka’s penalty just before halftime.
