Bournemouth vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction after Odegaard and Saliba strike
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal: The Gunners extended their winning start in the Premier League
Arsenal coasted to victory at Bournemouth as captain Martin Odegaard’s early brace took the visitors to the top of the Premier League.
The Gunners kept up their perfect start to the new campaign, their 3-0 win at the Vitality Stadium sealed with a fine William Saliba strike as the defender opened his account for the club.
Odegaard had put Arsenal clear inside the opening 11 minutes, the first time the Norway international has scored twice in a match since a double for Stromsgodset in October 2014.
At this stage of last season, Mikel Arteta was facing calls to be axed as Arsenal boss as they sat bottom without a point or a goal. The summer signing of Gabriel Jesus has done much to herald such a stark turnaround in fortunes and, while he did not add to his goal tally on the south coast, the Brazil forward was again instrumental.

53 min: Spurs are lively right now. Kulusevski cuts inside from the right and curls a lovely ball into the box, where Kane’s header slams against the bar, and Son scuffs the follow up. That was the best moment of the match so far for Tottenham. Can they take advantage of this period of dominance?

Glenn Hoddle is unimpressed with Spurs’ movement in that first half. Talking in the BT Sport studio, he says they need to inject some energy on the attack if they are to unlock Wolves. “Conte needs to get into them at half-time,” adds Joe Cole.
