Review of the match Arsenal - Bournemouth:
Arsenal hosted Bournemouth in an exciting Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium. The hosts started the game confidently, dominating possession and creating chances. However, as early as the first minute, the visitors took the lead: Philipp Billing netted after a successful pass from his teammate. The Arsenal coach quickly made a decision to replace Leandro Trossard in place of Emile Smith-Rowe on 22 minutes. This change had an immediate impact on the game as the Gunners began to put a lot of pressure on the Bournemouth defense. But despite their best efforts, Arsenal went into the break with a minimal advantage. The second half began with Arsenal making another substitution with Takehiro Tomiyasu replacing Ben White. However, Bournemouth struck again in the 57th minute as Marcos Senesi's powerful shot made the score 2-0. However, the Gunners did not stop there and quickly answered with a goal of their own in the 62nd minute thanks to an accurate shot by Thomas Parti from the edge of the field.
That same minute, Bournemouth's Neto was yellow-carded for a foul and coach Scott Parker made a double substitution, replacing Antoine Semenyo and Jack Zemura with John Anthony and Ryan Fredericks. Arsenal made its own substitution in the 69th minute, replacing Reiss Nelson with Smith Rowe. The move paid off almost immediately as the Gunners scored their second goal of the match on 70 minutes as Ben White headed the ball into the net. Bournemouth's coach resorted to another substitution: Josh Rothwell came on instead of Lewis Cook. As time went on, both teams made another change, but Arsenal had the last laugh. Folarin Balogun came on in place of Granit Hack in the 84th minute and Reiss Nelson scored the winning goal for the Gunners in equal time, infuriating the Emirates Stadium. The match ended 3-2 in favor of Arsenal, with the Gunners putting up great resistance, bouncing back from two defeats. It was an exciting encounter, keeping the fans in suspense until the final whistle. As Bournemouth headed back to the south coast, they were left to regret the missed opportunities, while Arsenal celebrated their hard-won victory.
In the next round the rivals are waiting for the following matches: Fulham vs Arsenal, Bournemouth vs Liverpool.
