Arsenal beat Bournemouth 3-2 away from home and further isolated themselves at the top of the Premier League. The game was marked by a mistake and a goal by Gabriel Magalhães, a goal by ex-Fluminense player Evanilson and two goals by Rice, the main highlight of the match. Kroupi played the other of the principals.
Now the Gunners reached 48 points and opened a six-point lead over Aston Villa, in second place. Bournemouth, in turn, remains alert for the relegation zone with just 23 points, in 15th place.
From villain to hero
Gabriel Magalhães experienced strong emotions in the first half. Just 9 minutes into the first half, the defender received it from Hincapié, dominated it and tried to pass it to Saliba. The defender, however, got in the way and fellow Brazilian Evanilson stole the ball, advanced freely into the area and hit the goal. Five minutes later, however, Madueke made a great individual play on the right and played it backwards. After a great bounce and bounce, the ball fell to Gabriel Magalhães, who volleyed Bournemouth’s net to equalize.
