Arsenal welcomes Bournemouth with the determination to win 3 points if they want to maintain the competition for the Premier League title with Man City in the final rounds. Arsenal is temporarily leading, but they only have 3 matches left in the Premier League. Meanwhile, champion Man City lost 1 point to the “Gunners”, but has 4 matches left.

The London team can temporarily increase the gap with Man City to 4 points if they win at Emirates home field this time. With fewer matches played, the right to self-determination is still in the hands of coach Pep Guardiola’s team, so Arsenal cannot be allowed to stumble in the remaining matches.
Coach Mikel Arteta’s team created a completely dominant position for most of the first half. But the attackers could not take advantage of good opportunities.
Coach Arteta only felt relieved when Bukayo Saka successfully scored a penalty in the last minute of the first half after Kai Havertz was fouled by goalkeeper Mark Travers in the penalty area.
Saka is still the “detonator” in Arsenal’s attack
The home team still maintained their dominant position in the second half even though Bournemouth played quite aggressively. Arsenal’s dominance was concretized by two goals from Leandro Trossard (70th minute) and Declan Rice (90+7).
With this victory, Arsenal is putting pressure on Man City (the team that plays later against Wolves), making the two-horse race in the final rounds even more attractive. However, before waiting for their opponents to stumble in the race, the “Gunners” must win their remaining 2 matches this season because they also meet MU (away) and Everton (home) if they want to win the Premier League title for the first time. English class since 2004.
