Mikel Arteta insisted it means nothing that Arsenal are top of the table after their perfect start to the season continued with a comprehensive victory at Bournemouth last night.
Martin Odegaard scored twice early on to put the visitors in command before defender William Saliba made it 3-0 after half-time with a brilliant left-foot goal.
The victory, Arsenal’s third on the bounce since the start of the season, means they sit top for the first time since December 2016.
This time last year, they were bottom, having lost their opening three matches.
