Declan Rice scored twice as Arsenal came from behind to beat Bournemouth 3-2, to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Gunners centre-back Gabriel Martinelli’s played a blind pass across his box to gift Francisco Evanilson the opening goal for the Cherries.
But he made up for that with the equaliser as he lashed in a rebound after Martinelli’s shot had been blocked.
Bournemouth had chances to go ahead but Rice’s shot from the edge of the box, from Martin Odegaard’s lay-off, gave Arsenal the lead.
The England midfielder, back from a knee injury, netted again following a cutback by substitute Bukayo Saka.
Teenager Eli Junior Kroupi gave Bournemouth renewed hope with a fine strike from outside the area – but they could not find a leveller.
Antoine Semenyo, playing perhaps his final game for Bournemouth before a £65m move to Manchester City, was quiet throughout.
The victory takes Mikel Arteta’s team six points clear of second-placed Aston Villa, although Manchester City can close the gap back to four points when they host Chelsea on Sunday (17:30 GMT).
