Bournemouth 1-2 Arsenal: Report, Ratings & Reactions as Gallant Gunners Sink Stubborn Cherries

Arsenal saw off a plucky Bournemouth side to win 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Against the run of play, the Gunners took the lead in the 29th minute, as Jefferson Lerma had the misfortune of scoring a spectacular own-goal - sliding on to Sead Kolašinac's hopeful through-ball and rocketing it past Asmir Begoviu0107 from inside the penalty area.

On the brink of half-time, the Cherries drew level as Joshua King bent a stunning finish into the top corner after a textbook counterattacking move from his side. The Gunners regained the lead midway through the second half, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sent the travelling supporters into raptures with a close-range finish.
