Arsenal met Bournemouth in another game of the English Premier League. This was the third game of the season. Mikel Arteta named the same squad that he has been using this season. This is after a successive campaign in the last two games.
The game started on a very high note and Martin Odegaard showed his leadership skills. He proved to everyone the reason as to why he was named the permanent captain of the side after the departure of Alexandre Lacazette.
The Norwegian international player scored two quick successive goals in the opening ten minutes of the game. He scored the first one after five minutes and he was again given a good pass by Gabriel Jesus in the tenth minute before he added the second goal. The first half ended 2-0 in favor of the Gunners.
The second half started on a very high note and Scott Parker made some changes in his squad in order to get back to the game. He substituted Marcos Senesi and replaced him with Jaidon Anthony, Ben Pearson with Lewis Cook and Philip Billing with Ryan Christie.
Bournemouth started the second half very well but the players lost the grip after Granit Xhaxa gave William Saliba a good pass that led to the third goal. The young French international defender scored his first Premier League goal and he was very much delighted because it was a screamer.
Gabriel Jesus also scored the fourth goal but it was later ruled off by the VAR as an offside goal. Mikel Arteta made some changes in his team after being sure that the club was going to bag all the three points. Martin Odegaard was substituted and he was replaced by Emile Smith Rowe, Gabriel Martinelli with Edward Nketiah, Ben White with Takehiro Tomiyasu, Bukayo Saka with Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaxa with Albert Sambi Lokonga.
The Arsenal players played very well and they finally got all the three points and a clean sheet for Aaron Ramsdale after beating Bournemouth 3-0 away. The Gunners finally won all the first three opening games for the first time in 18 years. The last time this happened was 18 years ago under Arsene Wenger and the team finished second in the Premier League table.
