Arsenal welcomed Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Gunners made a solid start to the contest and got their noses ahead in the 34th minute when Declan Rice found the back of the net. Mikel Arteta’s men went into the half-time interval 1-0 up on the scoreline.
The Cherries equalised in the 67th minute thanks to Dean Huijsen’s goal before Evanilson completed the turnaround just eight minutes later. The match ended with Arsenal suffering a tough 2-1 defeat in front of their home fans.
Let’s take a look at how each Arsenal player fared during the match against the Cherries.
GK: David Raya – 5/10
Raya failed to make a save in the game and could have done better to prevent Evanilson’s match-winner.
RB: Ben White – 6.5/10
He did his fair share of defending and was a strong presence in the air.
CB: William Saliba – 6.5/10
Saliba put his foot through the ball when he could but it was not enough tonight.
CB: Jakub Kiwior – 6/10
He made a couple of important clearances inside his half but was far from convincing on the defensive end of the field.
LB: Myles Lewis-Skelly – 6/10
He cleared the danger when needed and made one key chance going forward.
CM: Martin Odegaard – 7/10
Odegaard caught the eye at times and has got an assist to show for his efforts.
CM: Thomas Partey – 6/10
He earned the ball back once and made two decent runs from midfield.
CM: Declan Rice – 8/10
Rice made a positive impact at both ends of the pitch and scored the opening goal in the 34th minute.
RW: Bukayo Saka – 6/10
He was not shy of having a strike at goal but failed to get his name on the scoresheet.
ST: Leandro Trossard – 6.5/10
Trossard caused some headaches for the Bournemouth defenders but there was no goal for him this evening.
LW: Gabriel Martinelli – 7/10
Martinelli caught the eye at times on the left flank but lacked the cutting edge in the final third.
Substitutes:
ST: Mikel Merino – 6/10
He made one positive run with the ball.
LB: Oleksandr Zinchenko – N/A
CM: Ethan Nwaneri – N/A
LW: Raheem Sterling – N/A
