MIKEL ARTETA’S imperious Arsenal eased to a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday evening to go top of the Premier League. 

Two goals from influential captain Martin Odegaard effectively sealed the game as early as the 11th minute.

The visitors dominated Scott Parker’s Cherries throughout the match and a third goal duly arrived when the excellent William Saliba netted with an audacious strike to seal the three points and continue Arsenal’s superb start to the campaign.
