On Saturday, Arsenal delivered a commanding performance against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium, securing a 3-0 victory.
This win keeps them at the pinnacle of the Premier League, bringing them closer to a potential trophy after a two-decade hiatus.
From the get-go, the Gunners, fully aware of the stakes, applied relentless pressure on their opponents. However, Bournemouth put up a strong resistance. The deadlock was finally broken in the 45th minute when Bukayo Saka expertly converted a penalty. He paused before taking the shot, waiting for goalkeeper Mark Travers to make the first move, then calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner.
In the 52nd minute, Kai Havertz made a promising attempt towards the bottom right corner, but his shot was thwarted by the goalkeeper. Shortly after, Dominic Solanke had a golden opportunity inside the six-yard box. He aimed low for the center of the goal, but David Raya made a spectacular save to deny him.
The Gunners’ lead was doubled in the 70th minute. Declan Rice set up Leandro Trossard, who fired a close-range shot into the bottom right corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. Arsenal’s third goal came seven minutes into added time. Rice quickly reacted to a ball inside the box and deftly directed it low into the center of the goal.
