Arsenal snatched all three points away at Bournemouth after an impressive 3-0 away win. Coming into the game only the Gunners and Manchester City could boast a perfect record so far this EPL season and they continued to keep that record intact.
Bournemouth looked overpowered from the get-go and did not seem to get over their walloping defeat at the Etihad Stadium to Manchester City.
By the 5th minute, Odegaard found himself on the scorers’ sheet after Gabriel Jesus sensationally danced around multiple defenders before laying the ball to Gabriel Martinelli who saw his shot rebounded to the feet of Martin Odegaard, who tapped it home for the opener.
Odegaard would soon get his second in the 11th minute after Ben White delivered a cross reaching Gabriel Jesus in the box, whose touch laid it for Martin Odegaard to smash it home, giving Gabriel Jesus his third assist of the season.
IT'S ØDEGAARD AGAIN! 2-0! ⚡⚡

Bournemouth began the second half with vigor and began to mount pressure on Arsenal. All these will lead to naught as in the 54th minute Saliba scored a wonder goal following Granit Xhaka’s assist.
Later in the game, Gabriel Jesus would get his goal ruled out as offside as the match would go on to end at three nil.
This win places Arsenal at the top of the EPL table as they await the results of Man City and Newcastle slated for Sunday.
