Bournemouth stun Arsenal to open door in Premier League title race

Bournemouth threw the Premier League title race wide open with a 2-1 victory over Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Bournemouth took the lead through Junior Kroupi but Arsenal levelled through a Viktor Gyokeres penalty later in the first half.

The Gunners made multiple attacking changes early in the second period but struggled to create clear-cut chances against Andoni Iraola’s team.

The visitors were back in front in the 74th minute after a fluid move finished off by Alex Scott, who rifled the ball past David Raya.

Arsenal pushed for a leveller but slumped to just their second home defeat in the Premier League this season.

With six games to go, Arsenal, chasing their first Premier League title since 2004, are nine points clear of second-placed City.

City can close to within three points of the top if they beat Chelsea on Sunday and overcome the Gunners in an Etihad summit meeting next week.
