Bournemouth Stun Arsenal

Manager Mikel Arteta described the result as a 'big punch in the face,' criticizing his team's strange performance and lack of dominance.

The Gunners struggled to create clear-cut chances, with striker Viktor Gyökeres missing several guilt-edged opportunities in the closing stages.

The loss opens the door for Manchester City to close the gap before the two sides meet at the Etihad Stadium next weekend.

Bournemouth's victory marks a statement win for Scott Parker's side, who capitalized on Arsenal's uncharacteristic defensive lapses.
