Fantastic performance and result. A pretty much perfect night, capped off by a brilliant Gyokeres goal to seal it. Seven wins from seven in the Champions League. Top two secured with a game to spare. So impressive.

Decent half. Great for Jesus, Saka very bright and Mosquera has been impressive on his return. Inter a threat though, big spaces in the midfield that they are exploiting. Fun half to watch.

Arsenal celebrate their 3-2 win with the away fans - but you would imagine there will be a feeling of regret in that changing room that they have let Chelsea off the hook a bit tonight. The tie should probably be over. But it’s very much still alive ahead of the second leg.

3-2 Garnacho again at the back post after Arsenal failed to clear a corner. Another goal out of nothing.

Oh what a lovely goal. Saka to Merino, into Gyokeres who lays it off to Zubimendi. He still has a lot to do, but he jinks past a couple of defenders and produces a wonderful left-foot finish. 3-1.

ZUBIMENDI!!!!!!

Martinelli and Merino coming on.

Game has changed completely now. Arsenal were cruising at 2-0, looked likely to get a third. Goal out of nothing at the other end and now Chelsea have their tails up and are pressing for an equaliser.

2-1 Garnacho pulls one back, scoring at the back post. Zubimendi slipped in the build-up and Arsenal never quite recovered as Chelsea broke.

Howler from Sanchez. Saka plays in White on the overlap, he fizzes in a cross that squirms through the Chelsea keeper's hands. Gyokeres is there to gobble up the chance in the six yard box. 2-0.

GYOKERES!!!!!!!!!!!

H/T: 1-0 Arsenal. Ben White's early header the difference at the break.

Saliba so close to bending one into the top corner.

Arsenal break, Zubimendi picks out Gyokeres who twists and turns and gets a shot away, but it deflects wide for a corner.

That's Ben White's first goal since he scored twice against Chelsea in April, 2024.

Dreadful defending from Chelsea. Rice's corner, White's free header. 1-0 Arsenal

We’re underway.

Arsenal will host Wigan in the FA Cup fourth round.

Solid enough win after a sloppy start. Good from Martinelli, couple of great headers and great to see Havertz back. Thought Merino was excellent. Nice moment for Marli Salmon as well.

Latest from Mikel Arteta: - Calafiori & Mosquera still out, but Arteta hopes they will be back ‘pretty soon’. - Havertz trained this morning - Arteta hopes he will be available tomorrow - Arteta ‘very excited’ for Liverpool game, says Arsenal ‘have a point to prove’ against the champions

F/T: 3-2 Arsenal

Six minutes to be added on.

Out of nothing, Kroupi Jr thumps one past Raya from 25 yards. Game on and the Bournemouth crowd are going nuts.

3-2

He's done it again. Much closer range this time. Finishing well after being picked out by Saka, who had raced into the box after being sent through by Odegaard. Lovely goal.

RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant from Timber there as Bournemouth threatened an equaliser at the back post.

Great finish. Gyokeres bundles into the box, Bournemouth half clear their lines, but only to Odegaard who sets up Rice to pass the ball into the corner from 18 yards. 2-1 Arsenal.

RICE!!!!!!!!!

Back underway. No changes.

H/T: 1-1 Strange half. Arsenal way off it. Error-strewn 45 minutes, but Gabriel's equaliser has them level at the break.

Great play from Madueke to get into the box, bit of a scramble and the ball breaks for Gabriel who rifles in a great finish with his left foot. That's how you respond.

GABRIEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-1

1-0 Bournemouth. Absolute howler from Gabriel gifts Evanilson the opener.

Madueke does really well to get himself into the box and work a shooting position, but blazes wildly over the top. He looks a threat over there though.

We're underway.

Here we go!

Happy New Year everyone. Here’s to a very, very special 2026.

Happy Christmas everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful day with your friends and family. Eat, drink and be very, very merry 🎄 🎅

Arsenal will play Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final if they beat Crystal Palace next week. First leg would be at Stamford Bridge. Newcastle vs Manchester City in the other semi-final.

F/T: 2-1 Arsenal. Three crucial points, now let's never talk about this game again.

2-1 Arsenal. Another own goal. It looked like it was Jesus, but it was Mosquera who glanced in Saka's cross.
