Arsenal maintain their winning streak after defeating Bournemouth 0-3 away from home
It’s another three points for Arsenal today and the Gunners moved to the top of the premier League table as they maintain their winning record in this 2022-2023 campaign so far.
The Gunners had a perfect pre-season and the form has made them win their first three matches of the season.
The last time Arsenal has won straight three opening matches in the English Premier League was 2004/2005 season.
Arsenal started with the following lineup which hasn’t changed so far this season and this is understandable, no coach will want to make change to a winning team unnecessary.
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus
SUBSTITUTES
Turner, Tierney, Holding, Tomiyasu, Lokonga, Elneny,Vieira, Smith Rowe, Nketiah

It was a completely first half domination for the Gunners in which they scored two goals within the first 11 minute. The goals came from the new captain Martin Odegaard, he was in place to slot in the first goal, it was a rebound from the keeper via the shot of Gabriel Martinelli on the 5th minute.
The second goal came on the 11th minute and was assisted by Gabriel Jesus.
Bournemouth came back with a better fight in the second half but Arsenal was just too much for them as they conceeded another goal on the 54th minute thanks to the young star, William Saliba. He was assisted by Xhaka who has been performing really well this season so far.
Last season, Mikel Arteta was facing demands to resign as Arsenal manager as they lay bottom of the table with no points or goals. Gabriel Jesus’ summer arrival has done much to signal such a dramatic change in fortunes, and while he did not add to his goal total on the south coast, the Brazil forward was once again important.
Arteta is very happy with this current team, and he’s hoping to bring in more players if there’s departure of any important squad member of the team.
This is highly likely because some sources has already reported of the possible loan move of Nicolas Pepe to Nice in French Ligue 1 and he was not even included in the squad today.
