Bournemouth 1-2 Arsenal: Rob Holding praises character of team-mates and backs Gunners to challenge for top four spot
Rob Holding is confident Arsenal can challenge for the Premier League’s top four following their 2-1 victory at Bournemouth on Sunday.The Gunners took the lead when Jefferson Lerma diverted Sead Kolasiniac’s pass into his own net in comical fashion – something which amused these Gooners.3

Lerma inadvertently gave Arsenal the lead after half an hour

However, Unai Emery’s men were pegged back on the stroke of half-time through Josh King’s neat finish.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang restored Arsenal’s lead halfway through the second-half and despite suffering a few scares before the end, the visitors managed to hold on.3

Aubameyang was Arsenal’s match winner

The win sees the north London side extend their unbeaten run to 17 games in all competitions.They are now just a point off the top four after Tottenham inflicted a 3-1 defeat on Chelsea earlier this weekend.Arsenal will overtake Tottenham if they beat their local rivals at the Emirates Stadium next Sunday – a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT.And Gunners defender Holding believes his side has what it takes to break into the top four, while also praising Arsenal’s character after getting over the setback of conceding a goal late in the first-half. Speaking to talkSPORT’s Alex Crook after the game, Holding said: “Weve had tough games here [Vitality Stadium] and when they scored seconds before half-time we could have put our heads down and came out in the second-half not at it.“We put it behind us though and went again and we have been strong in the second-half this season so we knew wed get goals.“Youve got Manchester City and Liverpool at the top who are very strong but if we can keep chipping away and get the points we need then I feel we could be up there [top four].“We never give up and never stop trying but I think tactically were stronger and were a bit more organised this season.”3
