Bournemouth picked a shock 2-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, coming from behind to hand the Gunners a major setback ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal took the lead through Declan Rice but failed to maintain their advantage as Bournemouth responded with two quick goals from Evanilson and Dean Huijsen in the second half to seal the upset.
Manager Mikel Arteta named a strong starting XI, including the return of Thomas Partey, who missed the Champions League quarter-final first leg due to suspension.
However, despite dominating possession, Arsenal were unable to capitalize on their early lead.
The defeat dents Arsenal’s momentum heading into Wednesday’s second-leg tie against PSG.
