Arsenal today had their Unbeaten run this season ended away at Bournemouth.
Bournemouth trailed the gunners in the early exchanges as the game struggled to really catch light. It burst into flames around the half hour mark as William Saliba was sent off in controversial circumstances.
The Frenchman was initially shown a yellow card for tugging down Evanlison just outside the centre circle as the Brazilian threatened to run in on goal courtesy of Leandro Trossard’s wayward backpass.
VAR intervened though to send Rob Jones to the screen and overturn his decision.
This forced the match into a game of attack vs defence – a familiar story for Arsenal this season.

The Gunners coped well for large parts and could even have taken the lead through Gabriel Martinelli.
Eventually though they were undone by a clever corner routine which saw Ryan Christie hammer home.
Evanilson then surged onto Jakub Kiwior’s weak back pass and was felled by David Raya in the box enabling Justin Kluivert to dispatch a penalty that made the game safe for the hosts.
Sour, sour match day 8 for the gunners.
