Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Highlights, English Premier League: Evanilson, Dean Huijsen Goals Dent Gunners Hearts

Speaking to Sky Sports, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka gave his view on potentially winning the football's top prize, Ballon d'Or.

“Winning the Ballon d’Or is a dream, but my focus is on winning titles with Arsenal”.

“The main focus is on winning here, everything else will come after that”, told Sky Sports.

“I understand that it's a team that is being more consistent and it has a lot of the ingredients that you need to win it, but it's very painful.

“My motivations are much more focused in other aspects than that one but it hurts to watch it, that's for sure. They've done it in a manner, in a way, that has given no chance to the others. You have to congratulate that as well and you have to accept that there are reasons why you haven't been able to achieve it and try to improve.”

"We have to respect Arsenal knowing they have been better than us over the season, but maybe over 90 minutes we can definitely beat them," Andoni Iraola said.

We are minutes away from kick-off with the visitors knowing a victory can take them to the European spot whereas Gunners look to build momentum ahead of PSG tie in Champions League.

And we are away at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal take on Bournemouth. Iraola side's mean business and know a victory here could push their morale whereas dent their opponent's. Big game!

Remember, Arsenal need six more points to guarantee Champions League football for next season. They are not guaranteed yet. A victory tonight, could ease things.

Gunners are awarded a free-kick but Odegaard hits at the front Bournemouth player and it goes out back to Thomas Partey, who passes it to Jakub Kiwior, who is flagged offside.

England manager Thomas Tuchel is in the Emirates Stadium, watching the game and most probably the players in action. English stars such Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka are in action here.

Araujo crosses in from the right and it comes off Ben White as they win the corner. But it goes wide and Arsenal counter easily. However, the Gunners could not make the most of it as the move fails.

Martin Odegaard finds Gabriel Martinelli who passes it to a vacant Declan Rice but the Englishman shoots it wide. Great move from the Gunners.

Gunners are rampant here against the Cherries. A cross from Ben White finds a vacant Declan Rice but the Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi heads it for a corner. Rice is finding great joy up in the number 8 role.

A great Arsenal possession for the last 10-15 minutes or so as mellowed down as the Cherries gain the ball back and look to break the deadlock and also break Arsenal hearts.

Milos Kerkez, who is linked to a host of clubs, finds an unmarked Evanilson but the Brazilian forward heads it over the bar and gets injured in the process.

Bournemouth, who blunder at the back by passing amongst them, give the ball away as Leandro Trossard hunts down and finds Bukayo Saka, who then passes it on to Martinelli but the Brazilian hits it wide.

A great move from the Gunners sees Gabriel Martinelli, who is having a free run on the left-wing, finds Trossard, but the Belgian's header is saved on the line by Bournemouth keeper Kepa.

Martin Odegaard finds the run of Declan Rice, he rounds Cherries keeper Kepa with ease and slots into an open goal.

Rice's 100th appearance for the Gunners and he marks that with a goal.

The Gunners have failed to win in nine Premier League matches that they've held a lead in this season. That is some stat for Mikel Arteta's men, who were tipped to win the PL this season.

An Arsenal move breaks down and Cherries break, with Ouattara finding Justin Kluivert but the Dutchman cuts two Arsenal defenders and nearly finds the right top corner.

David Raya looks to find a pass for Martin Odegaard but it is a tame one and Evanilson looks to lob over the Spanish goalie but cannot find the back of the net.

Gunners get things underway as Cherries look to find an equaliser after that Declan Rice goal early in the first half. BOU main man Antonie Semenyo is pictured on the bench.

Gunners are finding bulk of chances at the Bournemouth goal with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli coming close to doubling their lead. Cherries unable to find possession of the ball.

Miles Lewis-Skelly finds a vacant Bukayo Saka in the Bournemouth box as the Englishman twists and turns but his right-footed shot goes wide.

Dango Ouattara beats Ben White and finds a low cross but no Bournemouth player find the end of it. David Raya wants to keep it going but Evanilson obstructs that and gets yellow carded.

Arsenal fans have been slagging off Martin Odegaard this season and the Norwegian won't win any fans after his hot and cold performance today. The Arsenal skipper is found at the edge of Bournemouth box but his indecision sees the ball being nicked away.

Arsenal have led their lead slip again as a long throw from Semenyo finds Dean Huijsen, who finds the bottom half-corner. Ecstasy for Cherries fans and players.

The goal has revitalised the visitors as they surge forward in numbers and force Arsenal in to conceding a corner. All of a sudden it looks Bournemouth are in ascendancy.

After a lengthy VAR check, Arsenal find themselves behind as Evanilson bundles in from a corner as Gunners are in jeopardy of losing and also conceding their spot to the likes Newcastle United and Man City.

The Gunners, despite in Champions League semi-final, are not yet secured UCL football next season. A defeat today and some worthy opponents coming up, could see them lose out on their second spot soon.

One can see the AFC players are tiring and clearly so, the Gunners boss rings in the changes.

Arsenal FC are heading towards their second home defeat of the season. How will the Gunners respond against PSG in the semifinal second-leg come Wednesday.
