The second-fastest goal in Premier League history had put the Cherries ahead, but a final-minute finish secured three points for the Gunners
Arsenal’s first-half was characterised by a series of bright ideas kiboshed by anxious execution and Bournemouth’s seemingly never-ending supply of totemic defenders.
Arsenal’s early difficulties were perhaps best illustrated by a free-kick late in the first-half. A five-strong committee discussed their masterplan round the ball 30 yards from goal, while captain Odegaard painstakingly organised his wall. When the ensuing strike flew into the North Stand, you could not avoid the feeling it was a complete waste of time from a team increasingly frustrated by the opposition’s time-wasting tactics.
Neto looked to have kept out White’s strike for a fleeting moment, although referee Chris Kavanagh’s watch informed him otherwise and that brief hope became an impending air of inevitability.
