    You're a club coming up from the Championship. Not expected to get much against an inform established Premier League side, why wouldn't you have more of a go? No need anymore to play 11 behind the ball.

    As we watch the Arsenal possession grow, the bite Bournemouth had at the beginning of the game has gone. Their shoulders are slumped and ultimately as professionals they don't want to be embarrassed, they need to keep this game within grasp.

    Truly awful teams this year look like Man United, Liverpool, Leicester, Wolves and Everton

    Where was Gabriel Jesus?

    Ben White has been bombing down the right all game and this time puts in a low cross right across the six yard box.

    Now Arsenal man is in sight and it rolls harmlessly away.

    Paul: It is now evident that Arsenal have left Man United behind in the trenches. What a shame.

    Arsenal are popping the ball around the pitch full of confidence.

    Bournemouth can't lay a glove on them.

    A little taster of how Usyk will treat Joshua tonight.

    Bournemouth can't hold onto the ball. Arsenal look so in control and scoring an early goal does that for, and its been comfortable all the way for them. Conceding that early goal is making this a drag for the home team.

    Jambarrell: Last year Arsenal lost their first 3 games and it was "Arteta out". What a difference it makes to stick by a manager.

    Adam: I know it's only Bournemouth (sorry Bournemouth fans), but I think Arsenal can get top four this season with ease. They look brilliant and have made some great signings.

    Paul: Zinchenko and Jesus are going to be two of the best signings this season. Experienced trophy winners who add to all the young talent that Arsenal have got. If Man Utd had any sense they’d try to rebuild in the same way. Don’t see any lazy players in this Arsenal team.

    Early days I know but Arsenal look very good this season. Could they challenge City?

    Ben White playing as a right-back with Takehiro Tomiyasu on the bench after injury.

    The England defender gets forward but you can see he is not fully comfortable in that position, chipping an aimless cross straight into the hands of goalkeeper Mark Travers.

    Scott Parker taking this lot down to the Championship. He's not going to win any fashion awards either. In both respects you can't just throw money at it and expect results.

    Although I'm not an Arsenal fan, I have a feeling that G. Jesus is going to prove to be bargain of the century for Arsenal. When compared to what teams have paid for the likes of Grealish, Sancho etc etc it's a brilliant piece of business by Arsenal.

    Sarah: This Saturday last year I couldn't bear to even read about Arsenal thrashing by Manchester City on BBC Sport. Now celebrating two goals in ten minutes and loving every single minute of 5 Live commentary!

    Willem: Arsenal are very impressive again. Early days, but championship contenders?

    Lifa: If Chelsea had signed Jesus, they would be title contenders. A proper number 9. Can’t believe City let him leave.

    Almost falls for Gabriel Martinelli, getting a pass from Bukayo Saka on the edge of the box but the Brazlian is crowded out and unable to get a shot away.

    It's going to be some relegation fight this year. So many truly awful teams already this year.

    Martin Odegaard, on a hat-trick, decides to clip it to the back post for Granit Xhaka but gets too much on it and the Swiss midfielder cannot retrieve the situation.

    Lovely play from Bukayo Saka, wriggling away from Jordan Zemura and the Bournemouth man has to charge back before hauling the England international down on the edge of the box.
