Arsenal maintained its pursuit of the Premier League title with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth that lifted Mikel Arteta's team three points clear at the top of the table.

The Gunners were in control from the start at the Emirates Stadium and took the lead in the 11th minute when Martin Odegaard curled a superb effort into the top corner.

Bukayo Saka doubled Arsenal's advantage just before the half-hour mark with a close-range finish after good work from Gabriel Martinelli.

Arteta's side continued to dominate after the break and added a third goal in the 51st minute when William Saliba headed home from a corner.

Bournemouth offered little threat going forward and Arsenal cruised to a comfortable victory that extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches in all competitions.

The win takes Arsenal three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, although Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand.

Arteta will be delighted with his team's performance, which showed their title credentials.

Arsenal are now in a strong position to challenge for their first Premier League title since 2004.
