Arsenal vs Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League result, latest updates and fan reaction

Gunners beaten by Premier League’s draw specialists in huge game for title aspirations

Arsenal's Premier League title hopes were dealt a significant blow following a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Junior Kroupi handed the visitors a well-earned lead after 17 minutes before Viktor Gyokeres clawed a laboured Arsenal back into the game from the penalty spot.

However, Alex Scott restored Bournemouth's advantage in the 74th minute and Mikel Arteta's shell-shocked side failed to find a response of any sort. Arsenal's loss hands Manchester City the chance to reduce the nine-point lead to six when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, seven days before the top two meet at the Etihad Stadium.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, have boosted their chances of qualifying for Europe by winning at the Emirates Stadium in successive seasons. The Cherries remain unbeaten in the league since losing the reverse fixture back in January and were well worth all three points on what may have been a decisive day in the title race.
