Bournemouth ends Arsenal’s unbeaten streak

Arsenal’s unbeaten run at the start of the season came to a dramatic end at the Vitality Stadium. Reduced to ten men after William Saliba’s red card, the Gunners couldn’t withstand Bournemouth’s pressure, losing 2-0.

A decisive turning point

French international William Saliba received the first red card of his career after just 30 minutes, following a foul on Evanilson near the center circle. This expulsion, caused by a careless pass from Leandro Trossard, put Arsenal in a difficult position for the rest of the match.

“I’m disappointed to leave my teammates with ten men. It was a mistake in judgment on my part.”

Bournemouth takes advantage

Determined to bounce back after a series of defeats, Bournemouth capitalized on their numerical advantage. With 20 minutes remaining, Ryan Christie opened the scoring with a magnificent strike into the top corner, following a clever corner routine. Nine minutes later, Justin Kluivert sealed the victory by converting a penalty won by Evanilson.

A dark series for Arsenal

This defeat ends a 16-match unbeaten streak for Arsenal. The Gunners, who had managed to secure crucial points against Manchester City and Brighton, couldn’t replicate the feat this time. The absence of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard was sorely felt.
