Bournemouth Stun Arsenal in Title Blow
Despite equalizing through a Viktor Gyokeres penalty, the Gunners were unable to overcome a disciplined Bournemouth side that secured victory with goals from Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott.
Manager Mikel Arteta described the performance as a 'big punch in the face' and urged his players to show more character in the coming weeks.
The defeat was Arsenal's third in four matches, leading to boos from the home supporters at the Emirates Stadium.
Manchester City now has its fate in its own hands as they prepare to face Chelsea on Sunday.
