Arsenal 5-1 Bournemouth: How it happened

Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan put on a masterclass as we claimed our eighth home Premier League win in a row with a five-star display to beat Bournemouth.

The two attackers were at the heart of everything, both scoring with composed finishes and the former claiming one assist and the latter two as they ripped the Cherries apart.

We immediately looked in the mood from kick-off, and there were little more than three minutes on the clock when we took the lead, Sead Kolasinac seizing on a loose pass and playing Ozil in on goal.

There was still work to do, and the World Cup winner’s impudent finish – which is fast becoming a signature strike – saw him kick the ball into the ground and up and over Artur Boruc, bringing the crowd to their feet.
