Arteta gives Arsenal team news update for Bournemouth trip<\/h3>\n

When Arsenal last played Bournemouth in March, it was a nip-and-tuck affair separated by a last-gasp winner from Reiss Nelson to keep the Gunners’ Premier League title hopes alive. Fast forward six months and you have an entirely different story. Here, Express Sport runs through three things we learned from Arsenal’s 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Havertz off the mark<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kai Havertz converted from the penalty spot to open his account with the Gunners after 28 games without a goal. Arsenal’s \u00a365million signing appears to be low on confidence but was given a welcome boost at the Vitality Stadium this afternoon.<\/p>\n

While Martin Odegaard or Bukayo Saka usually take Arsenal’s penalties, Havertz was pushed forward to take the north Londoners second of the game. After a long run-up and a stutter step, the German midfielder sent Neto the wrong way as he placed the ball into the corner of the Bournemouth goal mouth.<\/p>\n

There was relief etched on his face as he celebrated in front of the thousands of travelling fans, who serenaded him for five minutes straight and later gave him a standing ovation as he was replaced by Jorginho in the 80th minute.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saka injury worry<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for Arsenal though. Star winger Bukayo Saka hobbled off the field late in the game. He was initially ruled out of Mikel Arteta’s squad for their trip to the south coast after being forced off against Tottenham last weekend.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Friday, Arteta said of Saka:\u00a0\u201cThe assessment is \u2018okay, is he fit enough and good enough to be able to be selected tomorrow?\u2019 That\u2019s the question mark and so far he hasn\u2019t trained with the team.\u201d Saka started the game at right wing and opened up the scoring at the quarter-way mark with a brace from close range but was once again sidelined early.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth are in for a tough season<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bournemouth have been tipped to go down this season and performances like that won’t do much to help their case. The Cherries barely put up a fight as they were steam-rolled by last year’s Premier League runners-up.<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola’s men are still without a win this season and find themselves in the drop zone after falling to defeat for the fourth time. Premier League new boys Sheffield United and Burnley are the only teams below them in the table with the latter still having a game in hand. It’s still very early in the season but it doesn’t look good for Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
