William Saliba sent off as Arsenal lose at Bournemouth

A brilliantly-worked Ryan Christie goal and a Justin Kluivert penalty gave Bournemouth a shock 2-0 Premier League win at home against 10-man Arsenal on Saturday, with William Saliba shown a straight red card in the first half.

Already missing Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka through injury, Arsenal lost Saliba on the half-hour mark when a yellow card for bringing down Evanlison was upgraded to red after a VAR review, and it turned out to be the pivotal moment of the game as their unbeaten start to the league season was ended.
