Arsenal's struggles continued as they faced a surprising 2-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth on Saturday. Junior Kroupi opened the scoring for Bournemouth in the 17th minute, but Arsenal equalized through Viktor Gyokeres from the penalty spot in the 35th minute. However, Alex Scott secured the win for Bournemouth with a goal in the 75th minute. This loss marks Arsenal's third defeat in their last four matches, raising concerns about their form as they maintain a nine-point lead over second-placed Manchester City, who have two games in hand. Missing key players like Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, Arsenal struggled to create scoring opportunities and lacked the confidence needed to regain momentum. Looking ahead, Arsenal will host Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday before facing Manchester City next weekend. Bournemouth, on the other hand, continues their impressive run, remaining unbeaten in 12 matches and sitting on 45 points as they aim for European qualification.
