On Monday night, Arsenal travelled to Bournemouth in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Here are the player ratings from the 2-1 win.

Arsenal made hard work of it, as they seemingly always do, but thanks to a dominant opening 30-minute period they squeezed past Bournemouth to set up a fifth-round FA Cup tie against League One Portsmouth. Bukayo Saka scored the opener before teeing up the second, a swept finish from Eddie Nketiah, and the Gunners can now look towards making a serious run at a trophy.
