36'
If I were Alexandre Lacazette, I'd be extremely concerned. He doesn't score enough goals to be centre-forward in a team challenging for honours unless the wide players are prolific, and Arsenal's are not. I'd not be at all surprised if he got sold in the summer.

2-0 down and still Bournemouth sit off. I've no idea what their gameplan is.
33'
Bellerin gallops through the middle of the pitch, unmolested, and finds Pepe, who comes inside seeking a shooting angle. He can't find one so moves the ball back out wide, where Bellerin now is, and the resultant cross is a good one but Ake heads clear.
31'
Martinelli, who's so exciting, pulls wide, sticks the ball behind Cook S, and rousts after it. He looks up, sees Nketiah making for the front post - that's a good sign, because that's where the goals are - and crosses, forcing Ake into a desperate interception. The resultant corner comes to nothing.
30'
This is a risible effort from Bournemouth. No aggression, no conviction, no intensity.
29'
I'm not sure what they're looking at for so long because it's obviously not offside, and we now have confirmation that it isn't. Great stuff.
28'
Lines on a screen, as we investigate whether Martinelli was offside - is his knee ahead of Ake's knee? it's a real thrill, I can tell you.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal (Nketiah) He's got the knack! Mustafi into Nketiah, who comes short and lays off to Willock, who moves it wide to Saka. His cross is more of a pass - that's how poor Bournemouth's passing is - and Nketiah slots home with ease.
25'
Bournemouth need to get tight to Arsenal. at the moment, they're sitting off and being passed around.
24'
22'
Saka slides a ball inside to Martinelli, who looks up, sees options all around, and lamps a horrendous shot that flies off to Poole.

Nice from Willock, who turns adroitly to get away from Gosling and collect a pass from Bellerin, hopping outside Ake and lacing a low shot that Travers saves with legs at his near post. For a moment it looks like the rebound will fall to Martinelli, but it does not and Bournemouth scramble the ball clear.
19'
Saka into Martinelli, who lifts a return down the line, and with no options but a bouncing ball, Saka lumps it into the sky in the hope it might land somewhere useful. It does not.
19'
Absolutely.
18'
Bournemouth probe, feeding a ball through centrefield for Wilson, but Guendouzi is there and snaps into a challenge.
16'
Bournemouth have improved since going behind, but it's still tricky to fathom where a goal might come from.
15'
Is it Artetball or Artetaball?
13'
Smith finds space down the right after taking a throw to Wilson and accepting the return. His cross is a goodun too, but Mustafi is there again. What a player!
12'
Wilson tries a pass in for Solanke but underhits it. Naturally, Guendouzi is on-hand to bring him down, but Bournemouth waste the free-kick.
11'
An actual adult did this.
