    TNT SPORTS EXPERT JOE COLE REACTS TO ANOTHER FINE ARSENAL DISPLAY
    "Fantastic performance. It should have been three or four from the first half. They took the pedal off the gas a touch in the second half, but then showed their class with the finishing. Declan Rice was outstanding, Havertz was running the line, threats from everywhere.... Solid at the back - they look like champions."
    ARSENAL SEE OFF CHERRIES TO STAY FIRMLY IN TITLE HUNT
    Arsenal cranked up the heat on title rivals Manchester City with a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth that moves Mikel Arteta’s Gunners four points clear at the Premier League summit.
    The hosts racked up countless chances in a dominant first half and looked like going in at the break frustrated until Kai Havertz won a 45th-minute penalty that Bukayo Saka coolly converted for his 20th goal of the season.
    Bournemouth improved following the interval, but top scorer Dominic Solanke spurned an opportunity to equalise against the run of play.
    Arsenal then eased the anxiety building inside The Emirates when Leandro Trossard guided home his 16th goal of the season 20 minutes from time.
    Declan Rice added the icing to the cake with a third deep in stoppage time.
    The result means Arsenal are now four points clear of second-placed Manchester City who play one of their two games in hand at home to Wolves later on Saturday evening. Bournemouth stay 10th.
    Arsenal will now turn their focus to a trip to Manchester United in their penultimate match of the season next Sunday. Bournemouth host Brentford on Saturday.

    Hard to see this being given though.
    A penalty check should also take place.
