Arsenal were dismal in defeat as they hosted Bournemouth in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.
The Gunners were well below par, their visitors not playing for 3 weeks looked fully prepped, whereas Arsenal looked tired and out of ideas, with a disjointed line-up, missing several key players.
Bournemouth took an early lead through El Junior Kroupi after a series of lapses in concentration from Arsenal players. Viktor Gyokeres’ penalty levelled proceedings but the Gunners struggled to create much from open play and in the end conceded the winner to Alex Scott.
