Bournemouth 2-3 Arsenal

A second-half brace from Declan Rice was enough to edge a close encounter away to Bournemouth.

Gabriel was at the heart of both of the first half’s big moments. First he passed straight to Evanilson on the edge of the area for his compatriot to roll home, before our defender levelled up, thumping home a loose ball from Gabriel Martinelli’s parried shot.

We took the lead after the break when Rice struck from 20 yards, before he made it 3-1 from Bukayo Saka’s cutback. Junior Kroupi scored from long range to ensure a nervy last quarter of an hour, but we saw the game out to start 2026 with our seventh straight win.
