MESUT OZIL starred as Arsenal eased past Bournemouth to move back to the top of the Premier League table.

 

Mesut Ozil celebrates after scoring Arsenal's second goal

 

The German set up Gabriel in the first half and he put the Gunners ahead with his first Arsenal goal.

And Ozil added his name to the score sheet in the second as the Arsene Wenger's men reclaimed top spot from Leicester.

The win also meant Petr Cech broke David James' Premier League record after securing his 170th top-flight clean sheet.

 

Arsenal started slowly but were ahead just before the half-hour mark. 

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain went on a run and forced a corner, which was whipped in by Ozil and headed in beautifully by Gabriel.

The Gunners almost doubled their lead moments later. 

 

Gabriel scored his first Arsenal goal in the win

 

Per Mertesacker managed to head the ball against the side of the post from about two yards out after Artur Boruc palmed Gabriel's shot his way.

After the break Arsenal added a second. Ozil passed to Olivier Giroud, and the Frenchman, with his back to goal, provided a cute flick for Ozil to casually slot home.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was inches away from Arsenal's third late on, but the 2-0 victory was enough to move Arsenal back above Leicester to top spot in the table.
