Bournemouth threw the Premier League title race wide open with a 2-1 victory over Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Bournemouth took the lead through Junior Kroupi but Arsenal levelled through a Viktor Gyokeres penalty later in the first half.
The Gunners made multiple attacking changes early in the second period but struggled to create clear-cut chances against Andoni Iraola’s team.
The visitors were back in front in the 74th minute after a fluid move finished off by Alex Scott, who rifled the ball past David Raya.
Arsenal pushed for a leveller but slumped to just their second home defeat in the Premier League this season.
