Arsenal suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday as they fell 2-0 to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

The Gunners had control of the game until the 30th minute, when Leandro Trossard's careless pass left William Saliba in trouble before earning red for a foul that VAR deemed to have denied Evanilson a clear goalscoring opportunity. Some positive moments of goalkeeping by David Raya ensured Arsenal held Bournemouth scoreless by the break.

Antoine Semenyo was one of Bournemouth's brightest as the Cherries began to create chances, though he should have done better moments after the restart with an effort at the backpost that was struck off target.
