3. Gabriel's Redemption! 🇧🇷 Gabriel Magalhães made a sloppy error that led to Evanilson's opener. A mazy run by Madueke after a set-piece led to an opportunity which Gabriel happily took to score Arsenal's equalizer. #Arsenal #BOUARS

6. Stats! 📊 Arsenal's win was their 15th in 20 Premier League games this season. Only in 2022-23 and 1932-33 have they had more wins at this stage. Bournemouth registered a higher xG (1.34) than Arsenal (1.17). However, Arsenal's clinical finishing made the difference. #Arsenal #BOUARS
