Bournemouth vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction after Odegaard and Saliba strike

Here’s how Martin Odegaard put Arsenal in front early on.

15 mins: Arsenal are looking irrepressible here. But that’s a mistake as Ben White loses the ball to Kieffer Moore, who shows a burst of pace to get some room down the right but White recovers and forces him out of play.

The Arsenal man looked uncomfortable at right-back during the Leicester game, so it will be interesting to see how he does here.

13mins: This is a disastrous start for Bournemouth. The match already looks beyond their grasp. Arsenal surge forward again and win the corner.

Saka whips it in from the right and Gabriel jumps highest but can’t direct his header on target. A long way wide in the end

10 mins: Bournemouth are pressing Arsenal hard, trying to compress the pitch but the Gunners look very composed on the ball.

And now it’s a second GOAL! Good work by Saka and White down the right, White squares the ball to Jesus, who takes a slightly heavy touch but Odegaard nips in front of him and fires home.

There’s a VAR check to see if White was offside but it’s ruled he wasn’t and it stands.

7 mins: Really not the start Bournemouth needed - how can they respond? They give away a free-kick on the left which is whipped into the box by Odegaard. It’s in a good area but it’s headed away. Perfect start for Arsenal.

5 mins: GOAL! And it’s absolutely brilliant by Arsenal.

Jesus brings the ball down superbly in the middle of the park and then rides two tackles, showing strength and balance, before slipping the ball into the box. A shot at goal is saved well by Travers but Odegaard is on hand to knock in the rebound. Superb.

4 mins: White dinks a cross in from the right but it’s headed away well just before it went through to a trio of players queuing up at the back post. Then, at the other end, Kieffer Moore shows his strength as he harries the Gunners back-line but he’s a bit too physical and gives away the foul. An early indication of what the Cherries will try to do here though.

2 mins: A couple of long early balls forward by Arsenal well dealt with by the Bournemouth back-line. Ben White then nearly gets himself in trouble at the back but he’s strong, holds off Pearson initially and then wins the foul.

1 min: And we’re underway at the Vitality Stadium. Can Bournemouth cause a shock here?

The players are out and there’s only a couple of minutes until kick-off. Here is a reminder of the teams.

Bournemouth XI: Travers, Senesi, Kelly, Mepham, Zemura, Lerma, Billing, Smith, Pearson, Tavernier, Moore
