We let a one-goal lead slip at home to Bournemouth to fall to a disappointing defeat in the Premier League. Declan Rice marked his 100th Gunners appearance with a well-taken goal to give us the lead in the first-half, rounding the keeper after Martin Odegaard’s through-ball.

William Saliba made an inch-perfect sliding tackle to deny Evanilson in the area but moments later we took the lead. And what a well-crafted goal it was. Odegaard – pulling the strings in midfield – played the throughball to Rice, who had made an excellent run into area. He took it round Kepa, and smashed home like a striker for his eigh
