Arsenal have returned to winning ways courtesy of a comfortable 3-0 win over Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Having fallen to back-to-back defeats in their last two matches, the Gunners picked up their first points since the opening day of the season as a brace from Danny Welbeck either side of an Alexandre Lacazette strike saw them ease past the winless Cherries.
Aaron Ramsey’s pass released Saed Kolasinac down the left flank, and the wing-back’s cross into the box was met by Welbeck, who nodded a messy finish past a wrong-footed Asmir Begovic.
Xhaka missed the target with another effort before the hosts deservedly doubled their lead through Lacazette, who collected Welbeck’s pass before curling an accomplished finish into the top corner from 25 yards.
It proved to be a pivotal moment in the match as Arsenal scored a third moments later to take the game beyond the Cherries when Welbeck doubled his own personal tally with a low finish into the bottom corner after being played through by Ramsey.
