Unai Emery’s team selection raised some eyebrows, with Mesut Ozil and Carl Jenkinson both selected to start, but Arsenal were superb and made light work of Bournemouth, who have now lost eight consecutive away matches in the Premier League.
Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the first two goals before Lys Mousset pulled one back for Bournemouth — only for Laurent Koscielny, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette to seal a morale-boosting win with second-half strikes.
Both Ozil and Mkhitaryan were particularly impressive, although it remains to be seen whether the duo are picked to start Saturday’s pivotal derby against Spurs.
