Bournemouth’s Alex Scott threw the Premier League title race wide open with the winning goal as his side beat leader Arsenal 2-1 at The Emirates on Saturday.
Scott produced a cool finish after a neat build-up in the 74th minute to stun the nervous-looking hosts.
Defeat left a labouring Arsenal still with a seemingly commanding nine-point lead over Manchester City but it has played two games more than City which could close the gap if it beats Chelsea on Sunday.
Bournemouth was the better side in the first half and took the lead when Eli Junior Kroupi turned in a deflected cross at the far post in the 17th minute.
Arsenal’s response was lacklustre but it got a helping hand when Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie was adjudged to have blocked a ball into the area with his arm, allowing Viktor Gyokeres to equalise from the spot in the 35th minute.
