Arsenal are aiming to widen the Premier League title gulf against Bournemouth but it initially didn’t go according to plan.

Mikel Arteta’s side made a blistering start as they eyed temporarily moving four points clear of Manchester City at the summit.

The Gunners peppered Mark Travers’ goal with an incredible 13 attempts in the opening 30 minutes but failed to find a breakthrough.

Adding to the leaders’ frustrations was the fact that the Cherries racked up seven blocks in that time, half the highest tally for a top-flight game this season.

They weathered the storm until shortly before the interval, when Bukayo Saka scored from the penalty spot after Mark Travers had brought down Kai Havertz.
