Round 36 of the Premier League saw Arsenal easily defeat visiting Bournemouth 3-0 on May 4th, allowing them to keep up their title challenge with Man City.

Arsenal will go into their match against Bournemouth determined to capture three points in order to keep Man City in the hunt for the Premier League title. There are just three Premier League games left for Arsenal, despite their momentary advantage. With four games remaining, champion Man City dropped one point against the “Gunners.”

The London team can temporarily increase the gap with Man City to 4 points if they win at Emirates home field this time. With fewer matches played, the right to self-determination is still in the hands of coach Pep Guardiola’s team, so Arsenal cannot be allowed to stumble in the remaining matches.  

Coach Mikel Arteta’s team created a completely dominant position for most of the first half. But the attackers could not take advantage of good opportunities. 

Coach Arteta only felt relieved when Bukayo Saka successfully scored a penalty in the last minute of the first half after Kai Havertz was fouled by goalkeeper Mark Travers in the penalty area.

The home team still maintained their dominant position in the second half even though Bournemouth played quite aggressively. Arsenal’s dominance was concretized by two goals from Leandro Trossard (70th minute) and Declan Rice (90+7).  

With this victory, Arsenal is putting pressure on Man City (the team that plays later against Wolves), making the two-horse race in the final rounds even more attractive. However, before waiting for their opponents to stumble in the race, the “Gunners” must win their remaining 2 matches this season because they also meet MU (away) and Everton (home) if they want to win the Premier League title for the first time. English class since 2004.
