Bournemouth Hands Arsenal First Premier League Defeat with 2-0 Victory

Bournemouth dealt a blow to Arsenal's unbeaten start to the season, securing a 2-0 victory at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners faced a significant setback when William Saliba was sent off in the 30th minute for denying Evanilson a clear goalscoring opportunity, which opened the door for the hosts to capitalize on their numerical advantage.

The turning point came in the second half, with Ryan Christie breaking the deadlock in the 70th minute, finishing off a well-executed corner routine. Just nine minutes later, Justin Kluivert doubled Bournemouth's lead, converting a penalty after Evanilson was fouled by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.

This result marked Arsenal's first defeat of the Premier League season, leaving them in third place, missing the chance to move to the top as Liverpool and Manchester City had yet to play. Bournemouth's victory lifted them to 10th, marking their third win of the campaign.

Despite a lacklustre first half, Bournemouth's performance improved significantly after Saliba's dismissal. Kluivert shone in the match, scoring and assisting for the first time in the Premier League, and all of his last four goals have come at home.

Mikel Arteta's side now faces scrutiny after receiving three red cards in just eight league matches, and Saliba's red was particularly disappointing, as it was his first in 93 appearances for the club across all competitions. 

As the only unbeaten team remaining in the Premier League, Manchester City will look to extend their lead, while Arsenal must regroup following this frustrating outing.
