Arsenal Falls 2-1 to Bournemouth After Rice's Early Goal

Arsenal squandered a 1-0 lead at home against Bournemouth, ultimately losing 2-1 in a crucial Premier League match ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against PSG. Declan Rice had given Arsenal the lead with a well-taken goal on his 100th appearance for the club, but Bournemouth responded with second-half goals from Dean Huijsen and Evanilson. Despite Arsenal fielding a strong starting eleven to maintain momentum before their upcoming European fixture, the defeat raises concerns about their form as the season concludes. Mikel Arteta will be anxious to prevent his team from losing focus, especially with their league position and Champions League ambitions at stake.
