Arsenal extended their pursuit of the Premier League title with a crucial 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, maintaining pressure on Manchester City.

The Gunners now lead by four points, tallying 83 points compared to Manchester City's 79.

While Manchester City has two games in hand, starting with a match against Wolves later today, Arsenal's win keeps them in a strong position in the title race.

Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, and Declan Rice were the goal scorers in a match where Arsenal faced a second-half scare from Bournemouth. Arsenal dominated the first half but struggled to penetrate Bournemouth's defense until the dying minutes of the opening period.

The match saw controversy, particularly with a penalty awarded to Arsenal after Kai Havertz was judged to have been fouled inside the box by goalkeeper Mark Travers. Despite VAR review, the decision stood, and Bukayo Saka converted the spot-kick just before halftime.

In the second half, Bournemouth had a goal disallowed following a contentious foul on goalkeeper David Raya, which was subject to a lengthy VAR review. Despite this setback, Arsenal secured the win with goals from Trossard and Rice.
