Arsenal keeps up Premier League title push with 3
LONDON (AP) — Arsenal maintained its pursuit of the Premier League title with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth that lifted Mikel Arteta’s team four points clear of second-place Manchester City on Saturday.
City can reduce the gap back to one point by beating Wolverhampton later and still has another game in hand.
Bukayo Saka converted a penalty in the 45th minute after a trip on Kai Havertz before Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice added second-half goals at Emirates Stadium to secure Arsenal’s fourth straight victory in the league.
Arsenal, seeking its first league title since 2004, has two matches still to play — at Manchester United and home against Everton.
Havertz won the penalty in the 42nd minute after running onto a through-ball and rounding Mark Travers, only for the goalkeeper to clip the Germany international’s trailing leg.
Saka made it six from six from the penalty spot this season with what was Arsenal’s 16th shot of the match at that point.
