LONDON (AP) — Arsenal has maintained its pursuit of the Premier League title with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth that briefly lifted Mikel Arteta’s team four points clear of second-place Manchester City. City reduced the gap back to one point by beating Wolverhampton 5-1 later Saturday and still has another game in hand. Bukayo Saka converted a penalty in the 45th minute before Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice added second-half goals at Emirates Stadium to secure Arsenal’s fourth straight victory in the league. Arsenal is seeking a first league title since 2004. It has matches to play away to Manchester United and at home to Everton.
