Arsenal stayed in the title race behind leaders Leicester as goals form Mezut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were enough to see off Bournemouth.
The game started off a slow burner, Alexis Sanchez had the first key chance but the Chilean’s shot ended up well over the bar. The deadlock was eventually broken on the 22nd minute as Mezut Ozil’s neat finish flew past a helpless Artur Boruc to put Arsenal one up.
The Gunners doubled their lead less than a minute later as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored his first goal in 18 months as the winger buried his shot from a tight angle to put his side firmly in control.
