Bournemouth handed Arsenal a damaging 2-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, ending the London club's nine-game unbeaten run and casting doubt on their title ambitions. Eli Junior Kroupi opened the scoring before Viktor Gyökeres equalised from the penalty spot, but Alex Scott's 74th-minute finish secured all three points for the visitors, who have now gone 12 league matches unbeaten. The result could allow Manchester City to close the gap at the top of the Premier League (England's top football division), while Arsenal must quickly refocus ahead of a UEFA Champions League tie against Sporting CP.
