It's double Declan delight for Arteta's men who hang on after jittery start and finish
GIFT OF THE GAB: Evanilson wheels away after mistake from under-pressure defender Gabriel KNE-EASY DOES IT: Declan Rice celebrates CHERRY GOOD: Kroupi comes off the bench to score a belter
DECLAN RICE scored a second-half double as Arsenal came from behind to complete a thrilling win and move six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Evanilson took advantage of Gabriel's misplaced pass to put Bournemouth ahead after just 10 minutes. However, the defender atoned for his error when he struck back just six minutes later.
Rice, who missed his first Premier League game of the season with a knee injury in Arsenal's 4-1 rout of Aston Villa on Tuesday, then put the Gunners ahead after 54 minutes before adding a second with 19 minutes to go.
