This Saturday afternoon, Arsenal hosted Bournemouth on the 32nd day of the Premier League. The London club had the opportunity to temporarily take a twelve-point lead over Manchester City, traveling to Chelsea this Sunday (5:30 p.m.). The opportunity was great for Mikel Arteta’s men. But nothing went as planned on this day.
Nothing is going well at Arsenal
Chilly as ever, the Gunners left the same impression as against the Citizens before the international break during the Carabao Cup final (2-0) and during the defeat against Southampton (2-1) in the quarter-final of the FA Cup. The Londoners conceded the opener in the 17th minute through the inevitable Eli Junior Kroupi.
To allow Arsenal to recover, a penalty was needed, which Viktor Gyökeres was responsible for converting. But it was written that this afternoon would be difficult for the Canonniers, who finally lost after a new goal from the Cherries signed Alex Scott (74th). In the standings, City could return to six points tomorrow before hosting Arsenal next week while still having a match in hand to play. The Skyblues once again have their destiny in their hands.

To summarize
Arsenal sinks against Bournemouth (1-2)! Too cautious, the Gunners lost valuable points in the title race despite a goal from Gyökeres. City now have their destiny in hand ahead of next week’s clash against Arteta’s men.
