Arsenal fans could not believe the shock and devastation their team faced in a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League, reducing their chances again of claiming the title.
The team could not end the game with a complete 11 players due to a red card that William Saliba received in the 30th minute after a VAR check revealed that he committed a foul against Evanilson, who was through on goal following a not-too-good back pass that Leandro Trossard made.
Bournemouth did not give up as they made use of the second half of the match to score their goal through a fine corner in the 70th minute by Ryan Christie, who came in as a substitute. David Raya also made a mistake that caused a penalty kick against the Gunners following Jakub Kiwior’s poor backpass, which allowed Justin Kluivert to score Bournemouth’s second goal.
Arsenal now have its unbeaten in the season been destroyed by Bournemouth, leaving Liverpool to top the table and coming behind Manchester City, which sits second on the Premier League table.
Arteta struggled to create chances as star players like Bukayo Saka could not feature due to injury, while Martin Odegaard missed the match because of a long-term ankle problem. Bournemouth now sits in 10th place on the table after securing their first win against Arsenal since 2018, while they will play against Aston Villa in their next game.
