Bournemouth vs Arsenal LIVE – Havertz scores as Saka and Odegaard hand Gunners full control
Arsenal and Bournemouth face off in the Premier League as football.london brings you full live coverage from the Vitality Stadium
Welcome to football.london’s live coverage of Bournemouth vs Arsenal in the Premier League as the Gunners look to respond to their North London Derby disappointment.
Tom Canton brings all the build-up, match commentary and reaction from the Vitality Stadium. Arsenal kick-off at 15:00 BST.
Mikel Arteta welcomed back Leandro Trossard, Fabio Vieira, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba to the squad after their absence in midweek. The latter trio start the game as well in what is a massive boost to the squad.
Gabriel Jesus however remains in a wide role with Eddie Nketiah still through the middle. This comes after criticism of the decision to push the Brazilian wide after the disappointment of the North London Derby.
Bukayo Saka helped the Gunners take the lead within the first twenty minutes after heading in Gabriel Jesus’ attempted headed cross which came off Neto’s crossbar.
Two penalties gave Arsenal full control as Martin Odegaard and a very grateful Kai Havertz took the spot kick.
Updates to follow from the Vitality Stadium as Arsenal take on Bournemouth.
