Gunners earn impressive 3-0 victory at AFC Bournemouth and Mitrovic scores a late winner-:
A quickfire Martin Odegaard double helped Arsenal on their way to a 3-0 win at AFC Bournemouth and move the Gunners to the top of the table above north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
I’m proud because it’s not easy to come here and win 3-0 but there is still things to improve,” he said.
“It’s just three games, it doesn’t mean anything. What it means is the team is playing really well, we won three games, we’re scoring goals, we’re keeping clean sheets, the team is playing and performing well, it’s competing really well.”
Odegaard tapped in his first (5) after excellent work from star new signing Gabriel Jesus led to Gabriel Martinelli’s shot being parried, and the Norwegian hammered in a second (11) when Jesus’ heavy touch in the box teed him up.
But it was center-back Saliba who stole the headlines with a sumptuous strike in the second half. The Frenchman scored an own goal last weekend against Leicester but more than made up for that with a wonderful, curling effort which went in off the underside of the bar.
Jesus scored two and set up two in the 4-2 win over Leicester last time out and the brilliant Brazilian – named man of the match again – played a part in both of Arsenal’s opening goals on Saturday evening as Odegaard recorded his first top-flight brace since October 2014 when he was playing in Norway and just 15.
