Mikel Arteta's side enter the second half of the Premier League campaign the way they ended the first, with a victory. The 3-2 win at Bournemouth was their fifth victory in a row in the league. But he made up for that with the leveller - with good work from Noni Madueke in the build-up to that. Saka came on as part of a triple change for Arsenal and soon after set up Rice's second - his first Premier League double in his 296th league game. They would have hoped to cruise over the line after that - but they did not have too many scares after Eli Junior Kroupi's strike for Bournemouth.
