Norway midfielder Martin Ødegaard’s fine double inside the first eleven minutes put Arteta’s Arsenal in control as the Gunners swept aside Bournemouth to continue their perfect start and rise to the top of the Premier League table.
Gabriel Jesus also saw his goal chalked off by VAR for offside after William Saliba had capped his brilliant defensive display with a delicious goal sweetly curled behind Mark Travers from just outside the penalty box.
It is the first time Arsenal have won their opening three fixtures since the 2004-05 season.
