Mikel Arteta's side took the lead through Fabio Vieria before Antoine Semenyo bagged the Cherries' equaliser late in the second half.

The two Premier League sides went to a penalty shootout, which saw the Gunners come out victorious.

  • Match result: Arsenal 1-1 Bournemouth (5-4 pens)
  • Arsenal XI: Hein, Timber, White, Heaven, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Salah, Nwaneri, Vieira, Nelson, Nketiah

  • Arsenal 1-1 Bournemouth

    83. Really good save from Neto this time.

    Odegaard with a great piece of skill to slide the ball through for Trossard inside the Bournemouth box.

    He's driving towards goal coming in off the left and cuts inside beautifully before trying to beat Neto at his near post from eight yards. The goalkeeper doing well to keep it out.

    79. Chances at both ends! Jesus and Trossard combine really well but the Belgian's return pass for Jesus running through the middle is just cut out.

    Down the other end, a cross from the left finds Quattara on the penalty spot but he can't get a clean shot away after a good Kiwior block and eventually Hein is able to step off his line to collect a loose ball.

    76. Nwaneri with a vicious effort from just outside the box which is arrowing towards goal.

    A Bournemouth body flings himself in the way to block it though.

  • Arsenal 1-1 Bournemouth

    75. Arsenal come straight forward from kick-off and Odegaard slips White in down the right.

    His cross deflects and lands kindly for Neto to race off his line to claim.

    GOAL DETAIL

    73. Bournemouth deservedly level on the night.

    Maybe what is undeserved is the manner in which Hein has conceded, after a couple of top class saves.

    Rekik tries to drive out from the back but runs into trouble as Semenyo nicks it off him 30 yards from goal.

    He drives down the left channel and towards goal, firing low and hard at goal.

    It hits Ben White and ricochets up in the air, over Hein who had stumbled anticipating the initial shot and it drops into the far corner.

  • GOAL BOURNEMOUTH!

    Semenyo equalises via a wicked deflection!

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    71. The set piece comes to nothing.

    CLOSE!

    71. Odegaard strikes from 30 yards from that free kick and Neto at full stretch dives across to tip it wide.

    Some effort. Corner to the Arsenal.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    70. Cook - who had a bit of a run-in with with Nketiah when he was on - sends Jesus flying with a tackle.

    It's the latest in a few meaty challenges in this second period.

    The pair come together and Cook gives the Brazilian a slap as if to say 'apologies, come on'. The referee shows him a yellow card.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    68. Another huge Bournemouth chance, another tremendous save from Hein!

    Jebbison receives a clever forward pass and his tidy flick forces Rekik to slip at the crucial time.

    Quattara is clean through and strikes from the edge of the box but Hein stays big and makes a big save!

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    64. Dominic Solanke's evening is over. He's one of three Bournemouth changes.

    • OFF: Faivre, Scott & Solanke
    • ON: Billing, Jebbison & Christie
  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    63. Mikel Arteta makes seven changes as we hit the hour-mark in California.

    Among them, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Jorginho come on.

    • OFF: Partey, Timber, Nketiah, Vieira, Nelson, Heaven, Lewis-Skelly
    • ON: Jorginho, Zinchenko, Rekik, Sagoe JR, Kiwior, Jesus, Trossard
  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    61. Great play from Quattara to get to the byline down the right and he clips a clever ball into the box.

    Vieira retreats to volley it clear away from the three Bournemouth men in the box.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    60. Bournemouth have stepped it up a bit here. Solanke receives a pass on the edge of the box and manages to evade two challenges before striking at goal.

    It flies a yard over, he'll be disappointed with that.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    57. Good build-up from Bournemouth.

    It's worked down the right and Quattara beats Lewis-Skelly in a race to retrieve it.

    He cuts inside and tries to bend a shot beyond Hein but the keeper claims comfortably.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    54. Odegaard's attempted cross is deflected towards goal but Neto comes off his line to claim.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    53. Lunging tackle on halfway by Timber on Kerkez.

    It doesn't look like he catches the Bournemouth man, who flies into the air but it was a bit wild.

    He picks up a yellow card.

    50. The referee stops the delivery coming in, having to speak to White a couple of times.

    As is maybe predictable, he blows for a free kick as the ball heads into the area.

    But Neto is absolutely raging at White, who challenged for the ball as it came into the area. He's on the edge of his area pointing furiously in White's direction who trudges back to halfway.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    49. Arsenal win a corner after Odegaard's first involvement sees the Gunners almost in behind.

    Nelson heads over for the in-swinging delivery.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Bournemouth

    47. Immediate chance to level for Bournemouth!

    Solanke brings the ball down on his chest really well on the edge of Arsenal's box. He feeds Faivre on the right who is coming in on his left foot, looking to curl into the far corner.

    But it's tame and straight at Hein. Solanke not happy not receiving the return pass.

  • Half time subs

    Martin Odegaard replaces Salah for Arsenal and takes the captain armband.

    Bournemouth with a triple change:

    • OFF: Tavernier, Anthony & Aarons
    • ON: Semenyo, Smith & Quattara
  • Back underway

    The second half is underway as both sides go to their bench.

    News of those changes to come.

  • Players emerging

    The Bournemouth players are out first for this second half.

    A quick couple of shuttle runs to get the legs moving for the second period.

    Arsenal follow a couple of minutes later - and it looks like Martin Odegaard will join the action.

  • Reminder

    No matter what plays out in this second period, we'll finish the game with a penalty shoot-out!
