Long’s goal involved a glorious flick, while Billing’s was a close-range shot after Arsenal let Bournemouth attack from the start.

King powered forward for his goal, while Shearer closed down the goalkeeper’s attempted clearance and tapped into an empty net.

Eriksen took advantage of some generous defending to slot past a shell-shocked David de Gea.
