ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta praised Cherries for their “brilliantly” executed kick-off routine.
Dominic Solanke, Joe Rothwell and Dango Ouattara linked up, before Philip Billing swept home in 9.11 seconds, the second-fastest goal in Premier League history.
Marcos Senesi made it 2-0 at Emirates Stadium, before the Gunners battled back to win 3-2 with Reiss Nelson striking deep into stoppage time.
Reflecting on the game’s opener, Arteta said: “Credit to them (Cherries).
“They try very different things on kick-off.
“They have routines for every single set play and I’m sure they worked on it.
“(On Saturday) they scored a really good goal and really poor from us.
“With that routine we know that they could do. They did it brilliantly and we defended so poorly.”
Defeat sees Cherries slip to the foot of the Premier League table.
