‎Arsenal’s title hopes has been dealt a major blow as Alex Scott’s second-half strike gave Bournemouth victory at Emirates Stadium.
‎Defeat meant the hosts missed a chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to 12 points before second-placed Manchester City’s game against Chelsea on Sunday.
‎Mikel Arteta called for supporters to arrive early for an important match in the Gunners’ season and get behind the team, whose hopes of Carabao Cup and FA Cup silverware have been crushed in recent weeks.
‎However, Bournemouth produced a moment of quality to win the game when Alex Scott ran on to Evanilson’s flick on the edge of the penalty area and shot past David Raya to stun the silenced home fans.
‎It was a goal that ensured the Cherries extended their unbeaten run in the league to 12 matches, leaving Arsenal deflated.
‎Arteta’s side remain top of the table but have played two more games than Manchester City now.
‎They must also travel to Manchester next weekend to take on Pep Guardiola’s side.
