Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth: Scott scores winner as Gunners slip up in title race | Football

Arsenal suffered their third defeat in 4 matches as Mikel Arteta’s side were deservedly beaten 2-1 at home by Bournemouth.

Junior Kroupi have the visitors the lead in the primary half before Viktor Gyokeres pulled Arsenal level from the spot.

But Mikel Arteta’s side were comfortably second-best after the break and were punished when Alex Scott surged into the world before coolly ending past David Raya.

The Gunners miss out on the chance to maneuver 12 points clear at the highest of the Premier League table and will have their lead cut to simply six points if Manchester City can beat Chelsea on Sunday.
