  • 10' The 23-year-old Daniel Jebbison has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

  • 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Arsenal FC and AFC Bournemouth are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

  • 34' GOAL! Declan Rice scores on 34. Assisted by Martin Odegaard

  • 74' Arsenal FC make a change. Declan Rice trudges off to be replaced by Mikel Merino on 74 minutes.
  • 75' Magnificent from Evanilson! That is 66 goals in 389 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

  • 85' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 86' A tactical swap from Arsenal FC — Raheem Sterling on, Martinelli off on 86 minutes.
