Arsenal secured a dramatic 3–2 away victory over AFC Bournemouth in a lively Premier League encounter that swung back and forth before the visitors ultimately held their nerve.
The hosts made an energetic start and were rewarded early when Evanilson broke the deadlock in the 10th minute, finishing confidently to put Bournemouth ahead.
Arsenal responded quickly, restoring parity just six minutes later as Gabriel Magalhães rose to convert from close range and make it 1–1.
Bournemouth continued to press and thought they had regained control midway through the first half when Antoine Semenyo found the net. However, after the interval the momentum shifted decisively in Arsenal’s favour.
Declan Rice emerged as the key figure after the break.
In the 54th minute, he struck to give Arsenal a 2–1 lead, with Martin Ødegaard involved in the build-up.
Rice doubled his tally in the 71st minute, finishing another well-worked move that also featured Bukayo Saka, extending Arsenal’s advantage to 3–1.
Bournemouth refused to go quietly. Substitute Eli Kroupi, introduced moments earlier, pulled one back in the 76th minute to set up a tense finale.
The home side pushed for an equaliser, but Arsenal’s defence held firm despite late pressure, including stoppage-time drama that saw further substitutions and booking-related incidents.
At full time, Arsenal walked away with all three points after a hard-fought contest, while Bournemouth were left to rue missed opportunities despite a spirited performance in front of their supporters.
