Arsenal Draws Bournemouth in Mikel Arteta's Managerial Debut

BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored an equalizer for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta's first match in charge ended 1-1 at Bournemouth in the English Premier League on Thursday.

Aubameyang's 63rd-minute goal was his 12th in the league - putting him second overall to Leicester's Jamie Vardy.

Dan Gosling opened the scoring for Bournemouth in the 35th.

After Alexandre Lacazette was off target for Arsenal in the first half, Gosling punished slack defending when he turned in Jack Stacey's cross from the right.

The Gunners could have been 2-0 down at the break against Eddie Howe's spirited Bournemouth side.
