Premier League: Arsenal power into first place, Harry Kane makes history for Tottenham
- Arsenal seep to the top of the table with a 3-0 win at Bournemouth that extends their perfect start to the season
- Spurs striker Kane’s 185th Premier League goal sets a record for the most scored by anyone for a single club
Arsenal swept to the top of the Premier League with a 3-0 win at Bournemouth that extended their perfect start to the season, while Harry Kane made history in Tottenham’s 1-0 victory over Wolves on Saturday.
Just 12 months ago, Arsenal lost their first three league games in the club’s worst start to a season for 67 years.
This year the Gunners sit in pole position after opening the campaign with a third successive victory.
“Compared to last season we are a little bit ahead,” said Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard, who scored twice in the first 11 minutes.
“But we have to stay calm, stay humble, keep working hard and see where it takes us.”
It is too soon to declare Arsenal the finished article, but the derision that accompanied Mikel Arteta’s men when they squandered a golden opportunity to qualify for last season’s Champions League has been erased by their strong start this term.
