    GOAL - Bournemouth 0-4 Arsenalpublished at 71 mins

    Gabriel Jesus

    Beautifully done.

    Gabriel Jesus gets on the scoresheet, running through on Martin Odegaard's pass and chipping the ball over Mark Travers and into the net.

    A thoroughly deserved fourth for the Gunners, who have been firing so far this season.

    Was he off though??

    Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal

    20 minutes remaining and Arsenal are still on the hunt for more goals.

    The impressive Gabriel Martinelli takes a touch but pokes his shot wide on the spin.

    Bournemouth's opening win to Aston Villa seems a long time ago now.

    Quick flurry of Arsenal passes has Bournemouth in a bit of a head spin at the moment. Arsenal haven't made many mistakes today.

    There seems to be a lot more people laughing at Arsenal fans getting carried away then there are Arsenal fans getting carried away...

    Cruising.

    Harry: Last season Arsenal lost their first three matches of the season, one of those teams was newly promoted Brentford. Liverpool struggled to draw with newly promoted Fulham. So, stop it with all the criticism of Arsenal fans...

    After some confusion, it's Philip Billing who makes way.

    Same people moaning about Arsenal fans being giddy after 3 games are probably the same ones laughing after last season's first 3 games. Give your head a wobble.

    Arsenal fans are having a good time because their team is on a good run -- not sure why this is making everyone so furious?!

    I see the haters are out in force. You carry on with the criticisms of anything Arsenal, and I'll carry on laughing at your petty comments.

    Matty: This genuinely must be one of the best days of Saliba's life. Waited three years to prove his class. Clean sheet so far, a fantastic goal, and a new song about him sung for about a quarter of the game so far.

    Daniel: Willi!!! What a goal!

    Anon: Thank goodness Arteta kept the faith with Saliba.

    Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal

    Bournemouth defender Adam Smith is into the book again this season for a hack on an Arsenal man.

    It's his third booking in three games this season. Not bad.

    Bournemouth's brave resistance is immediately nipped in the bud, a brilliant finish from William Saliba. Bournemouth tried their luck and Arsenal have answered back.

    Will Bournemouth go back into their shells, be reluctant and protect their pride?

    Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal

    Aahh, Arsenal have a two-on-one with Gabriel Martinelli bursting through, but the Brazilian is greedy and screws a shot high and wide when Granit Xhaka was the better option, free in the middle of the box.

    Bournemouth come close to pulling a goal back but Marcus Tavernier's dangerous corner is cleared off the line by Gabriel.

    Ben: Bit bizarre that people are acting as though we should sit here, arms folded and frowning while we play well. Of course we aren't anywhere near challenging for the title yet but there's nothing wrong with enjoying it and celebrating.

    David: You can only beat what's put in front of you. Liverpool have played Fulham and Palace and are yet to win. These 'Get a grip' merchants about Arsenal really need to watch sports they understand, probably blow football.

    GOAL - Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenalpublished at 53 mins

    William Saliba

    Ohhhh what a beauty!

    Arsenal finally get their third of the game and it comes courtesy of a stunning strike by French defender William Saliba.

    He gets a pass from Granit Xhaka just inside the area before coolly caressing a first-time strike across the face of goal and into the far corner of the net.

    He meant it as well, no way was that a cross. What a way to get off the mark in English football.

    Daniel: As great as Jesus has been and no doubt he will score more goals, it's important the other attacking players share the burden and also chip in with goals so its good to see Odegaard and Martinelli starting to score already this season.

    More bite to Bournemouth in this second half, long way back into this game but they're giving it a go.

    You can see the benefit from that change in formation from Scott Parker straight away. In the first minute of the second half they did more than in the whole opening of the 45 minutes of the first, they need to build on it and keep that back door shut.
