Bournemouth secured a famous victory over Arsenal, sweeping aside the 10-man Gunners on Saturday on an error-strewn night for Mikel Arteta’s side.

William Saliba was given his marching orders in the first-half for hauling back Cherries striker Evanilson.

Left in the mire thanks to an awful back pass from Leanardo Trossard, the France international was initially booked for denying the Brazilian a clear goal-scoring opportunity with that swiftly upgraded to a red after a VAR review.

Arsenal hung on and perhaps should have taken the lead midway through the second half with substitute Gabriel Martinelli was denied by Kepa.

Moments later, Ryan Christie gave the hosts the lead, slamming home after a superbly-worked corner kick routine.

There was another calamitous back pass eight minutes later, this time from Jakub Kiwior. Evanilson again raced onto the loose ball only to be taken out by David Raya.

Justin Kluivert stepped up to score the resulting penalty and seal a huge win for the hosts.
