Premier League Match Report
March 5, 2023
Arsenal has put the pressure firmly back on Manchester City in the Premier League title race with a dominant 3-0 victory away to AFC Bournemouth. The Gunners' comprehensive performance saw them control the game from start to finish, with goals from Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli ensuring a comfortable victory.
Arsenal took the lead in the first half when Ødegaard's shot from outside the area found the bottom corner. Saka doubled their advantage before the break with a composed finish after a fine assist from Gabriel Jesus. Martinelli sealed the win late in the second half, heading home from close range after a cross from Kieran Tierney.
The result leaves Arsenal five points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand. However, the Gunners still have a difficult run-in, with matches against Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United still to come. Mikel Arteta's team will be confident of continuing their title challenge, but they will need to continue to perform at a high level.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, remain in the relegation zone, three points from safety. Scott Parker's team has been in poor form lately, winning just one of their last nine matches. They will need to improve significantly if they want to avoid the drop.
