Arsenal gave a vital boost to their Premier League title hopes as two goals in two minutes gave them a 2-0 win at Bournemouth.
Mathieu Flamini should have been sent off for a two-footed challenge in the opening minutes. Then, Arsenal scored twice in two minutes, the first from Mesut Ozil's excellent volley, and then Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain got his first league goal in 18 months.
The three points allowed Arsenal to regain third place, having been leapfrogged by Spurs and Manchester City in recent weeks, and cut the distance between them and Leicester City to five points.
Arsenal again got lenient treatment from Kevin Friend in the second half, and duly were able to keep a clean sheet to take them back up the league table.
