Thirsty for the title Arsenal! Mikel Arteta’s team did their duty at the Emirates against Bournemouth and with the goals of Saka, Trossar and Rice achieved their 26th victory in 36 matches in this year’s Premier League (3-0), remaining at the top of the standings!
Strict penalty in favor of the “gunners” for 1-0, disallowed goal for Bournemouth in the 77′ with the “cherries” having their good moments, especially in the first half. Big… pity for Gabriel as his impressive goal was disallowed for offside in the 86th minute.
Impressive Saka, who became the first Arsenal player to reach 20 goals in all competitions since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the first Englishman to do so for the club since Theo Walcott!
Arteta’s side came into the match strongly, starting to pound Travers’ goal from the start.
The “gunners” missed great opportunities with Trossard in the 10th minute and Saka in the 20th minute, while in the 27th minute Partey missed from an advantageous position, which was also saved by Rice in the 38th minute.
In 42′, Edegaard found Havertz with a terrific cross, who was on the ground after a challenge with Travers, winning a penalty. Saka took over the execution by writing 1-0 which was also the score for the first part!
With the same philosophy and in the second half, Arsenal threatened the home of Bournemouth three times with Saka and Havertz. In the 70′, Trossar sealed the “three points” with a beautiful shot from close range for 2-0!
The “gunners” did not slow down and in the seventh minute of stoppage time they reached a third goal with Declan Rice beating Travers from close range for the final 3-0!
At 83 points with two matches more than 2nd City, Arsenal remains 3rd and Liverpool loses the… title train!
