FT: Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

90+3' Walcott comes on for Giroud

90+1' Cech with a double save! The goalkeeper makes a stunning stop from a close range Steve Cook strike and gets up quickly to stop the rebound from Arter

90' 3 minutes of added time. Bournemouth have another corner

90' Arsenal almost wrap it up with Ramsey, but Boruc charges his shot down and prevents the score from worsening

88' Arter channels the spirit of Ritchie with a left footed effort from range that flies over

86' Bournemouth almost have a sitter! A cross from the right in not cleared as it bobbles in the box, but with King lurking, Arsenal clear the ball away

84' Bournemouth are unable to make a corner count, but with Arsenal's backline retreating, can exert more pressure going into the final minutes

81' A relatively quiet game for the Chilean, as he gradually finds his way back to his best

81' Kieran Gibbs comes on for Alexis Sanchez

79' The game has quietened after the spate of substitutions, with both teams looking slightly disjointed, although Arsenal are naturally sitting back and staying compact

77' A disappointing afternoon for the former Arsenal man, as he barely affected the game

77' Lewis Grabban comes on for Benik Afobe

71' Arsenal are slowly killing the game off, with a spell of possession that is comfortable, rather than threatening

67' Francis Coquelin comes on for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

66' Joshua King comes on for Dan Gosling

66' Junior Stanislas comes on for Matt Ritchie

65' Matt Ritchie lets fly with a left footed effort from range and... you know how this ends.

63' Bournemouth have a free kick deep in Arsenal's half. Ritchie's delivery is great but Arsenal clear

60' Mesut Ozil should have an assist after a great run down the wing and his cross from the byline is perfectly weighted but no Arsenal player is nearby

The referee, blinded by Giroud's rugged good looks, decides against booking him when he really should have done #BOUARS

55' Giroud;s header from the resulting corner goes straight down Boruc's throat, while moments later he cynically trips Smith on the half way line but escapes a yellow card

55' Alexis nearly catches Bournemouth out on the counter, but his shot is straight at Boruc

53' Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe must have come up with a great team talk at half time, as Bournemouth are repeatedly putting the Gunners under pressure

51' CHANCE! Lovely football from Bournemouth as Smith and Gosling combine to find the former in space in the box, but the wideman's shot is narrowly wide

50' Matt Ritchie with another left footed effort from range that flies over the bar.

49' Bouremouth have started the second half well, with Arter and Afobe putting the Gunner's backline under pressure

46' The second half is underway

1 - Arsenal have lost just one of their 61 PL away games in which they've led by 2+ goals at half-time (vs Villa in Dec 1998). Rarity.

HT Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal : Like London buses, Arsenal scored two goals in 88 seconds after going 327 minutes without a goal in the Premier League. Ozil opened the scoring for the Gunners with a rare right footed strike in the 23rd minute, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross-shot a minute later struck the far post and creeped into the net. Bournemouth's Pugh had a penalty claim turned down, while Arter and Smith required Cech to make crucial saves, thus proving that despite being two goals down going into the break, Bournemouth are not out of the game yet.

HT: Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

The last time Arsenal held a 2-0 lead in a PL game & failed to win was a 3-3 draw v Fulham (H), Nov 2012

45+1' Smith chests a long ball and bears down on Cech but Arsenal's keeper smothers the ball behind for a corner

45' 2 minutes of added time

39' Matt Ritchie lets fly from range, but gets underneath the ball and skies his effort well over the bar

34' Bournemouth have responded well to going two goals down with a concerted spell of posession

31' Bournemouth have a penalty shout of their own. Danny Pugh escapes Gabriel's attentions and bears down on goal, but Bellerin nicks the ball away from behind while also clattering into Pugh.

30' Monreal goes down in the penalty box, but the referee waves play on

1 - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has scored his first ever Premier League goal away from home. Overdue.

27' CHANCE! Bournemouth nearly get one back! Arter cuts across the ball with his left foot, and his swerving shot from range requires Cech to divert the ball away at full stretch

Arsenal: After failing to score a Premier League goal in 327 minutes of action Arsenal have scored 2 in the space of 1 minute vs Bournemouth

24' Oxlade-Chamberlain receives the ball on the right edge of the box and with the angle narrowing, accurately places the ball into the bottom far corner, where it comes off the post and trickles into the net
