Bournemouth 2-1 Arsenal: Cherries Come From Behind to Edge Out Disappointing Gunners

Bournemouth came from a goal down to secure an impressive victory against an underwhelming Arsenal side at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

Arsenal, without Alexis Sanchez ahead of his seemingly imminent exit, went in front through Hector Bellerin early in the second-half.

But they were pegged back, first by Callum Wilson's equaliser and then the winning goal moments later through Jordan Ibe.

The game, unsurprisingly given the nature of the two sides, began as an open, attack-minded contest.

It was Arsenal that came closest in the early exchanges: first as Ainsley Maitland-Niles, twisting and weaving through the Bournemouth defence, cut inside and struck the bar, and moments later as Alex Iwobi tested the reflexes of Asmir Begovic.
