Declan Rice Shines as Arsenal Breeze Past Bournemouth in PL Title Race

Arsenal secured another crucial three points in the Premier League title race against Bournemouth early this morning thanks to a massive performance by Declan Rice.

The Gunners hosted Bournemouth in the early game on the weekend. Andoni Iraola's team came in looking to play spoiler, but Mikel Arteta's side had other plans. Arsenal was on top of Bournemouth from kick-off with chance after chance. The Cherries did well to keep Arsenal at bay for most of the first half despite facing numerous shots.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring just on the edge of halftime after Mark Travers fouled Kai Havertz in the 18-yard box.
