'You love to see it' - Arsenal fans love who was involved in opening goal vs Bournemouth

Arsenal are taking on Bournemouth in the Premier League, and things have got off to the perfect start for Unai Emery's men.

David Luiz rose the highest to nod in Nicolas Pepe's corner to give the Gunners an early lead at the Emirates Stadium.

Both players have come under criticism for poor performances so far this season, with Pepe especially struggling to adapt to the intensity of Premier League football, scoring just one goal from the penalty spot so far this season.

However, with Arsenal dominating the early part of the match against the Cherries, it seems that the winger may be starting to find his feet in Premier League football.

The 24-year-old scored 22 goals in Ligue 1 last season and his club record arrival caused excitement among fans.

The Ivorian has gone close and had a shout for a penalty turned down since his assist for Luiz opener in the ninth minute of the game.

The performance has already caught the eye of Arsenal fans, with many hoping that he can now live up to the price tag that the club paid for him in the summer.

Supporters took to social media following Luiz's goal to show their surprise at the players involved, but to also praise Pepe's performance vs Bournemouth.
