Summary: Bournemouth - Arsenal 3:0 (Sport1)

Last season, Arsenal lost the first three games of the season, and ranked last at the end of the third round.

This season, she won the first three rounds, and is currently at the top of the Premier League.

The last team to make such a dramatic change, year after year?

Everton, who did so in 1937/38, then, the following season, won the championship.

Judging by the ability of the Gunners, it is not impossible that they will at least fight for the title this season, even if they fail to win it.

Considering the last few years, this would also be quite an achievement.

It is the first time since 2004 that the Gunners have gone 9 from 9 at the start of the season, but Mikel Arteta insists on keeping his feet on the ground.

"We are far from perfect," he insisted.

"I'm proud, it's not easy to come here and win 0:3. We started very well, and the two goals gave us a lot of confidence. Gabriel Jesus' contribution is exceptional, and he can still improve, he has a tremendous desire to be the best. Victories make life better To be much simpler, the atmosphere here is good. We will try to sign a few more players, but the transfer market is not easy. We'll see what we can do. We know we're still short, we'll try to add more firepower."

Martin Odgor, who celebrated a brace in six minutes, added: "We started off great and dominated the game right from the start. It felt good. In the second half we gave them some momentum. Jesus gives us a lot, not just goals and assists, and we're lucky he's here."

About William Saliba's wonderful goal, the captain said: "I've never seen him do something like that in training, it was a great kick. I'm happy for him."

Goalkeeper Aron Ramsdale, who received a warm welcome from his former team's fans, concluded: "It's a lot of fun. Not many teams can come here and dominate. It's amazing how our mentality has changed since the end of last season, we're more brutal. Zinchenko and Jesus just know how Win".
