Bournemouth stun Arsenal at Emirates to dent title push

Bournemouth beat Arsenal at Emirates Stadium to deal a blow to the hosts’ title push.

Alex Scott scored in the second half to seal the win after Junior Kroupi had earlier given the visitors the lead.

Viktor Gyokeres equalised for Arsenal from the penalty spot after Ryan Christie was penalised for handball.

The defeat means Arsenal missed the chance to extend their lead at the top before second-placed Manchester City face Chelsea.

Mikel Arteta’s side struggled to control the game despite making changes in attack, with Eberechi Eze, Leandro Trossard and Max Dowman introduced in the second half.

Scott later struck from the edge of the area after connecting with Evanilson’s flick, securing the result.

The loss leaves Arsenal still top of the table but with two more matches played than Manchester City, with a trip to face Pep Guardiola’s side next.
