What were the key moments in Arsenal's 2-1 win over Bournemouth?

Keith Andrews 0:06
Now Iwobi. Kolasinac pulls it back, oh, it's a spectacular own goal from Lerma. Brooks aware Bellerin's coming, lays it off to King! It's Kolasinac who pulls it across and Aubameyang slides it in, and Arsenal restore their lead. And that was their 21st goal in the second half this season. Two more than any other side. And having got in front from the second time through Aubameyang, this time Arsenal were able to hold Bournemouth at arm's length. Reaction now. The man who scored the winning goal with Jeff Shreves. Over when you've drawn your three previous games, does that make victory even sweeter?
Alex Iwobi 0:52
Yeah, of course. I think we knew that it would be a tough game today and it was tough. But it's good to win and be back at home with a win. It's nice.
Keith Andrews 1:05
The winning goal, do you think you were quicker from the free kick? Do you think Bournemouth were still a little bit on the back foot?
Alex Iwobi 1:11
Yeah, maybe. I think so. I think Alex gave the ball to Seahawks and I sprinted into the area and then he gave me a good pass.
Keith Andrews 1:26
Arsenal seemed to have the better of the second half. Did you come out with more determination having just conceded a goal?
Alex Iwobi 1:31
Yeah, I think the goal before the half-time was... was bad and not bad for for us because uh at the half time we spoke and we knew that in the second half we have to come back with the intensity and uh yeah we we knew that we have to put some uh aggressivity and do better than the first half 17 unbeaten now just a point behind chelsea do you feel that you are building something yeah i think so we We are following the process. It's a process, you know, and we continue in this way. I think the group is living well. So we try to continue on this way.
Keith Andrews 2:13
Good win. Thanks for talking to us. Thank you. fourth away in the season, as many as they managed in Arsene Wenger's final season in charge of Arsenal. Let's have a look through the goals again for those people who might be just joining us. Alex, there's more than a touch of fortune about their first today.
Alex Jones 2:28
It was, and this goal, this own goal, totally changed the shape of this game because Arsenal were being outrun by Bournemouth in the first 20 minutes. But here, you have to say, what a known goal. And it was against the run of play. And from then, Arsenal found a way to kind of get back into the game and regain some momentum.
Keith Andrews 2:48
They're actually in a really good structure there, Bournemouth defensively, aren't they? Midfielder getting back in, Lerma doing the job he's supposed to be doing, but it's ended so bad for them. And equalised just at the right time. Yeah, very much so. And look, this is what they do. Jamie highlighted a half-time at Arsenal. Can they do better?

How did Arsenal respond after conceding the equalizer?

Keith Andrews 3:03
Alex made a good point in terms of they shouldn't even be in that area of the pitch, Arsenal, defending a minute into injury time. And Bournemouth, to be fair to them, with the pace, the energy that they possess, they're always willing to get forward. The weight of the pass here from David Brooks is exceptional. And Josh King finishes it really, really well. I think Leno can do better. I really do. I don't think it's right in that top corner. That's when you want your goalkeeper to save the day for you. But on the reflection of the first half, I thought 1-1 was about right going into the break. Second half, though, Arsenal went on and won the game. Jamie, again coming down Bournemouth's right.
Jamie Redknapp 3:39
Is there something in that? A little bit, but I think it's a good play as well. The passing is so incisive, it's quick, that there's no doubt at all they get caught Bournemouth defensively, but it's a really good team goal from Arsenal's point of view. This pass here by Iwobi... just completely cuts out Ryan Fraser. He gets his body position completely wrong. The pull by Kolasinac is perfect. And then you can see that this is a master finisher. You know, he loves those. He's got so many of those in the Bundesliga. He's getting them in the Premier League. That was a great goal. I mentioned the first, I think the equaliser from Bournemouth's point of view was typical Arsenal in some stages, but that was Arsenal at their best.
