Arsenal secured their third Premier League win on the bounce after beating Bournemouth 5-1 in a thrilling display at the Emirates.

The hosts cruised to victory courtesy of goals from Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Laurent Koscielny, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

Ozil and Mkhitaryan put the hosts two goals ahead after 27 minutes but Lys Mousset offered the Cherries hope of a fightback with his goal three minutes later.

But Koscielny and Aubameyang’s efforts restored Arsenal's two-goal lead before Lacazette added a fifth 12 minutes from time. The result sees Arsenal hold onto their fourth-placed spot in the table.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, remain adrift in mid-table and seven points clear of the relegation zone.
