Arsenal saw their unbeaten streak this season come to an end against Bournemouth. The Cherries scored 2 goals and restricted Gunners from pulling any of those back. This gave Mikel Arteta a big blow in the pursuit of Premier League title. But, three Arsenal players showcased their quality and were able to have a good time on the pitch.
Gunners had to adapt early in the first half as William Saliba was shown red card. As a result, they were unable to restrict the hosts with only 10 men on the pitch. This is the 3 red card Arsenal have received in just 8 league games. The only positive side from the game are these 3 players mentioned below.
