AFC Bournemouth vence cinco jogos com vitória de 2 a 1 sobre o Arsenal

Depois de suportar uma seca de cinco jogos, o AFC Bournemouth finalmente conseguiu uma vitória muito necessária na Premier League, derrotando o Arsenal por 2 a 1 e reativando sua temporada.

O AFC Bournemouth começou bem o jogo e tomou a liderança cedo quando Eli Kroupi anotou depois de 17 minutos, com uma assistência de Adrien Truffert, fazendo-o 1-0.

O Arsenal empatou por 1 a 1, já que Viktor Gyökeres marcou com um penalti, no minuto 35.

It means that AFC Bournemouth find themselves undefeated for the 12th game running.

"Anything that is said when you have a defeat at home, you have to accept that. There are no excuses. It's about how we're going to stand up, first of all, individually, and then as a team to change that immediately on Wednesday," Mikel Arteta said following the loss.

Ahead of Saturday's game, Arsenal had enjoyed a run of eight games without defeat.

AFC Bournemouth are in 10th place after the game, while Arsenal are still at the top of the table, nine points clear of Manchester City.

The next Premier League games for Arsenal are Manchester City (away) on 19 April, Arsenal (home) on 25 April and Fulham (home) on 2 May. AFC Bournemouth play Newcastle United (away) on 18 April, Leeds United (home) on 22 April and Crystal Palace (home) on 2 May.

It took until the 74th minute before Alex Scott scored the decider with an assist by Evanilson.
