Declan Rice scored twice as English Premier League leaders Arsenal came from behind to beat Bournemouth 3-2 this morning.

Bournemouth had chances to take the lead, but Rice’s shot from the edge of the box, following Martin Odegaard’s lay-off, gave Arsenal the advantage.

Teenager Eli Junior Kroupi gave Bournemouth renewed hope with a fine strike from outside the area, but they could not find an equaliser.

In other matches, Aston Villa beat Nottingham Forest 3-1, Wolves thrashed West Ham United 3-0 while Brighton edged Burnley 2-0. 

Arsenal is leading the table with 48 points, followed by Aston Villa with 42 points, Manchester City is third with 41 points and Liverpool is fourth with 33 points.
