Midfielder Mesut Ozil scored an early goal as Arsenal returned back in the Premier League title race after claiming a 2-0 triumph over Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium on Sunday.
Ozil and midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain smashed two quick-fire goals within a span of one minute to give his side a much-needed win.
Ozil, who opened his side's account in the 23rd minute of the match,scored his sixth goal of the season,the Guardian reported.
