Inspirational Rice Strikes Twice in Arsenal Win

  • On Saturday, Declan Rice returned from a knee doubt to score two second-half goals as Arsenal beat Bournemouth 3-2 and opened a six-point lead.
  • After 10 frantic minutes, Arsenal were behind when Gabriel Magalhães' misplaced pass allowed Evanilson to score, but Gabriel equalised six minutes later following Noni Madueke's run.
  • At 54 minutes, Rice finished from the edge of the area, with Martin Ødegaard's pass creating the first strike and Bukayo Saka's run setting up the second, scored with 19 minutes to go.
  • Arsenal saw out their fifth straight league win, increasing pressure on Manchester City ahead of their Sunday match, while Bournemouth now face an 11-match winless run and Antoine Semenyo appears poised to leave this month.
  • Villa's 3-1 win leaves them as Arsenal's nearest challengers, and Manchester City can return to second place, four points behind Arsenal, by beating Chelsea on Sunday.
