Many Arsenal supporters could not believe what they were seeing as Bournemouth, who had scored just four top-flight goals in their previous nine matches, surprisingly took the lead at the league leaders. It was a well-worked goal but Mikel Arteta would have been furious with how easy his side were cut open by the Cherries.
