Arsenal won a hard-fought 3-2 away game against Bournemouth, extending their lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Gunners fell behind 1-0 early on, but fought back to take a 3-1 lead in the second half thanks to a goal from Declan Rice.<\/p>\n However, Arsenal were still strong enough to protect their lead and three points, but it was a nervy end for the home side as they trailed by a point.<\/p>\n Read our full review of Arsenal players\u2026<\/p>\n David Raya \u2013 6<\/strong> \u2013 Having conceded two goals, Raya may not have been in the happiest mood of the season, but in fairness not many goalkeepers would have been given a chance on this one as Bournemouth\u2019s second goal was an absolute screamer.<\/p>\n Julian Timber \u2013 7<\/strong> \u2013 In a somewhat erratic run overall, Timber, perhaps Arsenal’s best defender, did a good job against the threat of Antoine Semenyo and moved the ball forward as well as he often does.<\/p>\n Clown Hincapie \u2013 6.5<\/strong> \u2013 Still adjusting to English football, Hincapie was solid enough today, if not always 100% convincing against an admittedly strong Cherries team.<\/p>\n Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es \u2013 6.5<\/strong> \u2013 In short, it was a tough performance! Gabriel made a terrible mistake in the 10th minute to give Bournemouth the lead, but he hit a brilliant equalizer just six minutes later and was pretty consistent and solid from then on.<\/p>\n William Saliba \u2013 6.5<\/strong> \u2013 It was a decent performance for Arsenal, even if they weren’t at their best as they conceded two goals. This is a bit of a rarity for them as both first-choice centre-backs are fully fit.<\/p>\n Martin Zvimendi \u2013 7<\/strong> \u2013 Handled the ball well and Zvimendi controlled the game well as usual.<\/p>\n Declan Rice \u2013 9<\/strong> \u2013 Two well-scored goals, this was Declan Rice in his element, and this great goal put the Gunners up 2-1 early in the second half\u2026<\/p>\n Martin Odegaard \u2013 8<\/strong> \u2013 The silky and skilful Martin Odegaard continued his recent resurgence, smartly assisting Rice\u2019s first goal, and was a pleasure to see again tonight.<\/p>\n Noni Maduike \u2013 7.5<\/strong> \u2013 Made an unusual start by beating Bukayo Saka and looked active on the right flank with great skill, especially setting up Gabriel’s equalizer.<\/p>\n Gabriel Martinelli \u2013 6<\/strong> \u2013 Frustratingly inconsistent, this was one of Gabriel Martinelli’s worst games, with the Brazilian winger unable to influence things and failing to make the right decisions in key moments.<\/p>\n Victor Gokeres – 6<\/strong> \u2013 Although a hard worker, Gokeres still appears to lack the quality and goalscoring ability that Arsenal need.<\/p>\n Sub:<\/strong> Gambriel Jesus 6, opening and<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Declan Rice celebrates with his Arsenal teammates after scoring against Bournemouth (Photo by Michael Steele\/Getty Images) Arsenal won a hard-fought 3-2 away game against Bournemouth, extending their lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
