Declan Rice scored twice as Premier League leaders Arsenal came from behind to beat Bournemouth.
Gunners centre-back Gabriel played a blind pass across his box to gift Evanilson the opening goal for the Cherries. But he made up for that with the equaliser as he lashed in a rebound after Gabriel Martinelli's shot had been blocked.
Bournemouth had chances to go ahead but Rice's shot from the edge of the box, from Martin Odegaard's lay-off, gave Arsenal the lead. The England midfielder, back from a knee injury, netted again following a cutback by substitute Bukayo Saka.
Teenager Eli Junior Kroupi gave Bournemouth renewed hope with a fine strike from outside the area - but they could not find a leveller.
Antoine Semenyo, playing perhaps his final game for Bournemouth before a £65m move to Manchester City, was quiet throughout.
