<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Goals from Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – scored within a minute of each other midway through the first half – were enough to draw a line under an alarming run that had threatened to undermine the Gunners’ season.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
But after a first win in five league games, manager Wenger insisted Arsenal’s title challenge was back on track ahead of Sunday’s showdown at the Emirates with the leaders</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“Of course we needed a result, for two reasons,” said Wenger. “One, we haven’t won for a while, we had four games without a win. When you play at the top, that’s a long period, confidence drops a little bit. </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“And Leicester running away and us playing them next week, to make the game interesting, it was very important for us to win today.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“Look, in one week Leicester have beaten Liverpool and Man City. So that means suddenly they become the favourite in the league. That makes our game on Sunday a very big one.”</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
It helped Arsenal’s cause that referee Kevin Friend decided Mathieu Flamini’s early challenge on Dan Gosling was worthy of a yellow card while Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was adamant it should have been red.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
But Wenger – who disagreed with Howe – was concerned only with the outcome of this game as his side showed the resilience required to draw a line under a nightmare January.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Top at the turn of the year, Wenger’s side faced Bournemouth where another defeat would leave eight points adrift of Claudio Ranieri’s side.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Instead, they will confront Leicester knowing victory will move them to within two points of the leaders.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
His side’s dip in form has prompted familiar questions about their ability to sustain a challenge.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
But Wenger said: “We cannot control people’s opinions. We can just control our performances and to show that we believe in it and that we have the level to do it. There’s still a very long way to go.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“We have a big game at home now against them (Leicester), and I believe we have enough quality and nerves to deal with that.”</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Wenger’s side showed enough composure to keep a spirited Bournemouth at arm’s length after taking control of the game in the first half.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Petr Cech produced a number of high-quality saves but for the most part the goalkeeper was well protected as Arsenal showed the defensive resolve required against a team fighting to keep clear of the bottom three.</div>

But it was up front where the manager needed to see signs his team had rediscovered its cutting edge.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
And while this was by no means Arsenal at their attacking best, they did enough to silence talk of a goal-drought.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Things might well have been different if Flamini had been sent off in the eighth minute after a forceful two-footed challenge on Gosling.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Howe said: “It was a straight red, a simple decision. I was surprised when referee only produced a yellow.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“I haven’t seen a reply but it was two-footed and Dan could have been seriously injured on another occasion.”</div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Wenger’s view? “Honestly I felt even at the start it was free-kick for us,” said the Frenchman. “Flamini was first on the ball. I didn’t see how high his feet were, he was first on the ball.”</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Bournemouth had more to concern them in the 23rd minute when Aaron Ramsey clipped a ball towards Olivier Giroud at the far post and the forward headed down into the path of Ozil who finished emphatically.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
A minute later, Ramsey again found himself in the role of creator, releasing Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right-hand side of the box where the midfielder sent an angled shot beyond Artur Boruc for his first league goal in September 2014.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Bournemouth offered more substantial resistance after the break but could not find a way to loosen Arsenal’s grip on the game.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
