In the early kickoff on Saturday, Arsenal trounced Bournemouth 3-0 to take a four-point lead over Manchester City atop the Premier League standings.
After Kai Havertz was hauled down in the area, Bukayo Saka scored a penalty to give the home team a well-earned lead.
The Gunners led at the half and there were no further goals in the first half.
After the break, Bournemouth applied some pressure before Leandro Trossard scored their second.
Then, with VAR supporting referee David Coote’s decision to penalize Dominic Solanke for a foul on David Raya, the visitors had a goal controversially disallowed.
Declan Rice sealed the victory with a stoppage-time third.
The win, Arsenal’s fourth straight, keeps them in the lead and puts further pressure on Manchester City, who face Wolves at 5.30 p.m.
