Arsenal controlled the match picture in the first half, without creating any really hot scoring chances.
When the chance finally came, after 40 minutes of play, Eberechi Eze took advantage of it. The winger was in the right place in the penalty area after a free kick and headed in 1–0 against his former club.
The second half ended goalless and so did the day for the national team star Viktor Gyökeres.
The 27-year-old has started every match in the Premier League this season and scored three goals.
Arsenal tops the table with 22 points scored. Bournemouth is second with 18.
