What's Next?
Arsenal will be looking to continue their winning streak in their next game, while Bournemouth will be hoping to bounce back and get their first points of the season.
This was a game that showcased the gulf in class between the two sides. Arsenal were just too good, too clinical, and too dominant. But hey, that's football for you - sometimes, the best team doesn't always win!
