Garth Crooks has paid a back-handed compliment to Arsenal by saying he 'can't believe that they're third in the table'.
The Gunners are on a run of eight games without defeat under Unai Emery who has done extremely well to ride the storm that came several high profile injuries.
Sunday's performance may not have been the best of the season, but fans of the Gunners will no doubt be happy to see their side grind out a 1-0 win over a good Bournemouth side.
One man who wasn't as impressed was Garth Crooks.
The BBC pundit wrote in his post-weekend round-up and said that he's baffled by Arsenal's standing in the Premier League.
He said: "Just when Spurs fans think the week cannot get any worse, Arsenal win at home to Bournemouth and the victory takes them up to third in the table.
"Luiz, who never does things the easy way, scored his first goal for the Gunners and the only goal of the game but more importantly kept his first clean sheet in an Arsenal shirt.
"I cannot believe this Arsenal team are third in the table.
"I know we are only eight games into the Premier League season but their defence has been so bad, how is this possible?"
