Arsenal 3-1 Bournemouth

Alexis Sanchez scored twice as Arsenal ended their usual barren November run with victory over Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Chilean struck in either half as the hosts ran out 3-1 winners to end the Gunners' run of three draws during a month when they notoriously struggle for results.

Arsenal took the lead early in the first half after Bournemouth defender Steve Cook's mistake gifted Sanchez his ninth goal of the season.

The visitors got back into the game, with Callum Wilson equalising from the penalty spot after he was brought down in the box by Nacho Monreal, but second-half goals from Theo Walcott and Sanchez saw Arsene Wenger's side win in the Premier League for the first time since 29 October.
