Soccer-Arsenal back in title race with win at Bournemouth

LONDON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Bournemouth 0 Arsenal 2 Arsenal re-established themselves as serious contenders for their first Premier League title since 2004 with a comfortable victory at lowly Bournemouth on Sunday. A first win in four games took them level on points with second-placed Tottenham Hotspur, their bitter local rivals who have a superior goal difference. After more than five hours without a league goal, Arsenal scored two in little more than a minute midway through the first half by Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Arsene Wenger's team are still five points behind leaders Leicester City but play at home to them next Sunday. (Reporting by Steve Tongue, editing by Alan Baldwin)
