Not all of Bournemouth’s breakaways come from speedy dribbles upfield.
Many are direct attacks that start with one longer pass from back to front.
They are not afraid to clip hopeful balls into the channels, having averaged 61 long passes per match, the second most in the division.
These two examples from recent matches show how Kluivert’s sprints from deep are often a target for his team-mates when they are on the ball.
From this clip over the Wolverhampton Wanderers’ right-back, the Dutchman almost scored at Molineux.
And at the start of this terrific run of form across the last 10 matches, Cook lofted a pass over the top for Kluivert to race onto and score in a 2-0 win at Burnley.
This type of ploy, as indicated below, could be used again, so it is important the Gunners don’t just focus their attention of the runs of star man Solanke.
