It's a crucial fixture for Mikel Arteta's side as they look to pile the pressure on their title rivals and extend their lead at the top of the table.

But things started in the worst possible way on the south coast as Gabriel handed the hosts an opening goal on a plate.

Instead of picking out one of his teammates, he played the ball straight to Evanilson, who had all the time and space in the world to pick his corner and fire Bournemouth in front.

The Cherries' lead didn't last long, however, as Gabriel was quick to make amends for his mistake with a crucial equaliser.

Bournemouth didn't effectively deal with a set piece, and it eventually fell to the Brazilian in the box, who fired it home with a strong strike.

Gabriel is now just two goals away from matching his best-ever tally in a Premier League season, with only half the season played, according to StatMuse.
