Arsenal candidate for winning the Premier League?

DBasia.news – Arsenal managed to keep their game in the English Premier League after against Bournemouth, Saturday (21/8).

Three goals from Martin Odegaard (5′, 11′) and William Saliba (54′) were enough to seal the Gunners’ third three points in the first three games of the 2022/23 season.

This result also brought Mikel Arteta’s victory machine to the top of the standings, coupling Tottenham who bagged seven points, and three points ahead of Manchester City, who are both still perfect but have only played twice.

Arsenal started the game brilliantly thanks to the excellent collaboration of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, although in the end it was Odegaard who entered the scoreboard in the fifth minute.

Jesus rattled some of the Bournemouth players in midfield before passing the ball for compatriot, Martinelli. The Brazilian striker’s shot was parried by Mark Travers, but the rebound went to Odegaard’s feet who finished it perfectly.

Six minutes later, the Gunners’ advantage doubled, again thanks to Odegaard’s services. From the right side, Ben White released a low pass for Jesus who was waiting in the penalty box. He controlled it poorly and the ball bounced too far, but Odegaard slid it straight into Bournemouth’s goal.

Mikel Arteta’s youth team went further and further beyond their reach when William Saliba struck the ball, this time into the net! Granit Xhaka picked up Martinelli’s cross down the left, and passed it to Saliba who was free in front of the box. The 21-year-old defender also scored his first goal for Arsenal with a curling shot that pierced the top corner of Bournemouth’s goal.

This result also marks the contrast of the London Cannon’s fate after last season they lost in the first three matches in the league.

Since Everton in 1937/38 and 1938/39, Arsenal became the first English top-flight club to wipe out the first three games of a season, having lost the first three games of the season. At that time, The Toffees won the following season. Meaning?

Bournemouth (3-4-2-1): Mark Travers; Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi, Lloyd Kelly; Adam Smith, Jefferson Lerma, Philip Billing, Jordan Zemura; Marcus Tavernier, Ben Pearson; Kieffer Moore.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Aaron Ramsdale; Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Thomas Partey, Granite Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli; Gabriel Jesus.
