Tabs and Jamie kick off 2026 by breaking down Arsenal’s nervy but ultimately controlled 3–2 win away at Bournemouth; a match that delivered early panic, big character, standout individual performances, and a big result in the Premier League title race. They dissect Gabriel’s disastrous opening mistake and instant redemption, Madueke’s electric first‑half display, Declan Rice’s match‑winning brace, and Victor Gyökeres’ decent all‑round performance..
