Arsenal Hold Off Bournemouth 3-2 To Extend Premier League Lead To Six Points

Arsenal edged Bournemouth 3-2 in Saturday’s late Premier League clash to extend their lead at the top to six points.

The Gunners went into the match aware that Aston Villa had moved into second place following a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest.

Bournemouth struck first after Gabriel’s pass was intercepted, allowing Evanilson to fire them ahead.

Gabriel redeemed himself shortly after, leveling the score just six minutes later.

After the break, Arsenal surged ahead as Declan Rice scored twice to put the Gunners in control.

Bournemouth’s Kroupi Jr pulled one back, but Arsenal held firm to secure the victory and all three points.
