Arsenal stunned by Bournemouth in title race blow

The biggest shock of the weekend occurred at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal suffered a damaging 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth.

Despite a relentless domestic campaign that saw them enter the weekend nine points clear, the Gunners looked fatigued after their midweek European exploits.

Mikel Arteta’s side took an early lead, but the Cherries fought back with two clinical goals to secure their first victory at the Emirates in club history.

This result hands a massive opportunity to Manchester City, who can now close the gap at the top to six points if they win their game in hand later today.

Arteta described the performance as “lacking our usual spark” and urged his squad to refocus ahead of the final six matches.
