  • 74'
    GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH! IBE! Good play from Wilson sees him bring down Smith's long ball and play it into the path of Ibe and the winger fires through Cech from the edge of the box. The Arsenal goalkeeper should do better there.

    GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH! WILSON! Fraser crosses from the right and Wilson steals a march on his man to get to the ball first and prod it past the onrushing Cech. Game on!
  • 68'
    S.Cook does well to deny Iwobi a shot on goal after a good ball from Lacazette.
  • 66'
    Ibe chops inside Holding on the left but his effort from 12 yards is tame and easy for Cech.

    Francis sends in a devilish ball from the byline but there is no Bournemouth player at the far post to convert.

de Arsenal en el 52'
  • 52'
    GOAL! ARSENAL! BELLERIN! What a ball from Iwobi! He puts the Spaniard in behind his man down the right and he gallops into open ground before scoring with an effort that goes through Begovic as much as anything else.
  • 51'
    Gosling lashes over the bar from the edge of the box in the aftermath of a corner.
  • 48'
    No changes from either side but expect that to change if the score remains 0-0 for much longer.
  • 46'
    The hosts get us back underway here!
  • 45'
    HT: Bournemouth 0-0 Arsenal. The visitors have had plenty of the ball but there's nothing to choose from between the two sides at the break.
  • 45'
    1 minute added on.
  • 43'
    A better spell here from the hosts are Fraser fires over but it looks like we'll go in at the break level.
  • 41'
    Huge appeals for handball from Bournemouth as a corner appears to strike Iwobi on the arm but the referee is unmoved.
  • 40'
    Good defending from Chambers to throw his body in front of Fraser's shot after he gathered a cross from the right.
  • 36'
    Mustafi is involved again as he guides a diving header over the bar from a corner.
  • 35'
    CHANCE! Lacazette puts in Welbeck but he is denied by a fine save from Begovic. From the resulting corner Steve Cook flicks the ball narrowly wide of his own far post. Francis was all over Welbeck there.
  • 33'
    Xhaka sees a long-range effort deflected into the grateful arms of Begovic.

  • 21'
    Drama! Gosling is booked for diving despite appearing to be caught by Mustafi. The Bournemouth man is furious.
  • 20'
    60% of the possession for Arsenal so far, but there's only one stat that matters.
  • 16'
    You can't do that! Wilson barges Cech to the floor before rolling the loose ball into the empty net. Unsurprisingly the referee Kevin Friend blows for a foul.
  • 14'
    A let off for Maitland-Niles as he gifts possession to Ibe but the former Liverpool man looks for a pass that is never on and Cech gathers.
  • 13'
    Arsenal counter at pace but they overplay and are forced to settle for a corner.
  • 10'
    Iwobi tries his luck from the edge of the box but Begovic palms his deflected effort away for a corner.
  • 8'
    OFF THE BAR! Lacazette gets to the byline down the right and crosses to the far post for Maitland-Niles. The youngster gathers the ball and turns Francis and Smith inside out before crashing an effort off the woodwork. Close!
  • 7'
    Wilshere looks to set Lacazette away over the top but Begovic gathers.
  • 6'
    An early change of boots for Simon Francis.
  • 4'
    CLOSE! The hosts almost get off the the perfect start as Adam Smith gathers Daniels' cross from the left before cutting inside and shooting from the edge of the box but his effort flies narrowly wide.
  • 1'
    Arsenal get the ball rolling here!
