Bukayo Saka successfully converted a penalty kick earned by the team shortly before the break, giving Arsenal the lead, and the nerves of the Emirates Stadium crowd calmed when Leandro Trossard extended the team’s lead in the 70th minute, and Declan Rice added the third goal late in stoppage time.
The win raised Arsenal’s tally to 83 point of 36 matches, while City, the champion of the competition, ranks second with 79 points from 34 matches before hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers later on Saturday.
Bournemouth had reason to be angry about the penalty kick awarded to Arsenal after a long VAR review, and the referee also canceled a goal for the visitors in the second half after another long VAR review.
The referee also canceled a goal scored by Gabriel in favor of Arsenal, but by that stage, coach Mikel Arteta’s team had already secured the three points, and continued its strong quest to win the English Premier League title for the first time in 20 years.
