Arsenal wins at Bournemouth and extends their lead

On the road at Vitality Stadium, Arsenal had a golden opportunity to make a major move in the standings. Facing a bold and uninhibited Bournemouth side, the Gunners were caught off guard early on, with Evanilson capitalizing on a defensive mistake to open the scoring. The warning was quickly answered by Gabriel, who redeemed himself by firing home a powerful equalizer just minutes later.

After the break, London's dominance only grew. Declan Rice took matters into his own hands, netting a classy brace to give his side breathing room. Bournemouth tried to reignite the contest with a superb goal from Eli Junior Kroupi, but couldn't shift the momentum.

Solid in managing the closing stages, Arsenal secured a valuable victory. This win puts them six points clear of Aston Villa, ahead of the upcoming showdown involving Manchester City.
