Bournemouth stun Arsenal with 2–1 away win at Emirates
AFC Bournemouth earned an impressive 2–1 victory over Arsenal FC in the Premier League on matchday 32, coming away from north London with all three points thanks to goals from Eli Kroupi and Alex Scott.
The visitors struck first on 17 minutes, when Eli Kroupi found the net with a regular-play effort to give Bournemouth an early 1–0 lead. Arsenal responded before the interval, winning a penalty that Viktor Gyökeres converted in the 35th minute to level the contest at 1–1.
The game remained finely balanced after the break, prompting an early triple substitution from Arsenal on 54 minutes, as Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and Martinelli made way for Eberechi Eze, Max Dowman and Leandro Trossard. Bournemouth adjusted shortly after the hour, introducing Tyler Adams and David Brooks in a double change on 70 minutes.
Just four minutes later, Bournemouth produced the decisive moment. Alex Scott finished a move in the 74th minute, assisted by Evanilson, restoring the Cherries’ advantage at 2–1. Arsenal pushed for another equaliser, bringing on Gabriel Jesus and Cristhian Mosquera in the 76th minute, but the visitors held firm.
A tense finale followed, with Bournemouth picking up a series of yellow cards for Adrien Truffert (77′), goal-scorer Kroupi (79′) and James Hill (90′), while Gyökeres was booked for Arsenal in the 80th minute. Late substitutions for Bournemouth saw Alex Toth, Enes Ünal and Adam Smith introduced to help close out the result.
Bournemouth’s disciplined display and clinical finishing ultimately proved enough to secure the win over Arsenal. Detailed statistics beyond goals, cards and substitutions were not provided in the available match data.
