Read more  At the end of a week in which Unai Emery stated his desire to lead Arsenal back into the Champions League, having had it stated on his behalf by the club’s managing director, Vinai Venkatesham, came a result that pushed them closer towards that objective at the first time of asking. Victory over Bournemouth puts Arsenal just one point behind Chelsea in fourth as well as extends their unbeaten run to an impressive 17 games.  These remain early days, of course, and much more will be know about Arsenal’s ability to not only get into the Champions League qualifying places but stay there after their next two games – Sunday’s visit of Tottenham followed by a trip to Old Trafford – but this was an undoubtedly encouraging afternoon for Emery’s men. They were not at their fluent best but showed character and determination against spirited and talented hosts and having lost a lead right at the end of the first half, regained it midway through the second-half thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 10th goal of the season in all competitions.  For Bournemouth this was a third defeat in row but Eddie Howe and his players can take encouragement from how they performed here. Saying that, Jefferson Lerma may be keen to forget this encounter in a hurry given the jaw-dropping own-goal he scored to give Arsenal the first of their two leads on 30 minutes. Joshua King somewhat spared the Colombian midfielder’s blushes with his equalising goal on 46 minutes, and Lerma himself came close to scoring at the right end with a low, long-distance drive on 84 minutes that hit the post. But ultimately for those in red and black, it was not meant to be.  Emery sprung a tactical surprise prior to kick-off by deploying a three-man defence for the first time in the league this season. Mesut Özil was also only among Arsenal’s substitutes, while Alexandre Lacazette was absent altogether having failed to recover from a minor groin strain.  The switch from 4-2-3-1 to 3-4-2-1 suggested Emery expected Bournemouth to line up in a similar formation, yet that proved to not be the case. Instead the hosts went old school – 4-4-2, with Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser, who scored for England and Scotland respectively during the international break, among the starters.  As was another player who caught the eye for his country during the past fortnight – Wales’s David Brooks. It was Brooks who had the ball in the net after only eight minutes following a neat one-two with Joshua King only for the goal to be ruled offside by the assistant referee on the near side.  Arsenal were struggling to get into the game, looking disjointed and a little clueless in their rarely used formation. Slowly but surely, however, the visitors took control of proceedings.  Alex Iwobi and Aubame
