Harry Kane created Premier League history as his goal gave Tottenham a 1-0 win over Wolves. The England captain headed home in the second half to score for the 185th time in the Premier League – the most a player has scored for one club.

It took him above Sergio Aguero to fourth in the all-time list of scorers and it was his 250th in all competitions for Spurs, with Jimmy Greaves’ record of 266 surely under threat this season.

His goal, which was also Tottenham’s 1,000th at home in the Premier League, earned Spurs the win which extends their unbeaten start to the season.

Kane and partner in crime Son Heung-min both hit the woodwork in a much-improved second-half display. Wolves will perhaps feel hard done by as they were the better team in the opening 45 minutes with new record signing Matheus Nunes missing their best opportunity in the first half. Defeat leaves Bruno Lage’s side with just one point from their opening three games as they begin the season slowly again.

Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

45 mins: Back underway at the Vitality Stadium. Two changes for Bournemouth and Scott Parker had to do something, to be fair.

Lewis Cook and ex-Arsenal academy product Jaidon Anthony come on for Ben Pearson and Marcos Senesi. Not a great full debut for Senesi in truth.

Half-time - Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

Here was Arsenal - and Odegaard’s - second. Taken off the toes of Jesus but I’m sure he won’t mind. It gave Bournemouth a mountain to climb after just 10 minutes

Half-time - Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

Here’s a reminder of how Arsenal go into the break 2-0 ahead. Firstly Odegaard finished following a brilliant Jesus run.

HALF-TIME! Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

A superb half by Arsenal. Martin Odegaard’s double has them completely, and deservedly, in control. It’s hard to see how Bournemouth can get back in this match.

Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

45+1 mins: One last chance for Arsenal? Odegaard and Saka link up, with the latter hammering a low cross into the box but it’s hacked clear. Half-time imminent.

Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

45 mins: Two minutes added time. This has been an ideal first half by Arsenal. Zinchenko has won possession more than any other player so far - doing so on 9 occasions (no-one else is above 5). His anticipation and reading of the game is superb.

Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

44 mins: Kieffer Moore claims he was caught in the face by Gabriel as they jostle for the ball. Replays show that the defender’s hand did make contact with his face but it was clearly accidental. Nothing to see there.

Moore is down and receives a bit of treatment but he’ll be fine to continue.

Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

41 mins: Zinchenko skips past a Bournemouth player and when he gets the ball back he puts in a dangerous cross from the left. It’s a touch too high for Jesus but Arsenal win the ball back and build again. Bournemouth just can’t get a foot on the ball.

Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

40 mins: Every single one of Bournemouth’s players’ average position so far is in their own half. Kieffer Moore the furthest advanced on the halfway line. That’s telling about Arsenal’s dominance.

The Gunners dominating the ball and Odegaard floats a ball into the left channel where Jesus has made an intelligent run. Bournemouth initially clear but White given room to put another cross in from the right. His low ball is cleared behind for a corner. The cHerries survive that with some scrambling blocks

Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

37 mins: Saka drives forward again and combines with White as they search for a way through. Everything coming down that Arsenal right.

Saliba shows what he’s about with some neat footwork on the ball as he evades trouble and plays the ball back to a (presumably bored) Ramsdale. He looks very composed does the French centre-back.
