Arsenal asserted their dominance against Bournemouth, securing a commanding victory that propelled them four points clear at the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners capitalized on their first-half superiority, with Bukayo Saka calmly converting a penalty after Kai Havertz was fouled by Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers just before halftime.
In the second half, Arsenal extended their lead as Declan Rice set up Leandro Trossard for a well-curled shot into the net in the 70th minute, before Rice himself found the back of the net in added time, further solidifying the Gunners' position at the top with an impressive display of attacking prowess.
Despite Bournemouth's attempts to rally in the second period, with Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert testing Arsenal's defense, their efforts fell short. Although Antoine Semenyo's goal was disallowed for a foul on David Raya, and Gabriel had a late goal ruled out for offside, Arsenal's victory stands as a poignant tribute to their young fan, Daniel Anjorin, whose tragic passing was honored by the team and supporters during the match.
