Arsenal's unbeaten run in the Premier League came to a dramatic end on Saturday after Bournemouth defeated the Gunners 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries, who had failed to win in their previous five league games, secured a crucial victory that propelled them up the Premier League table.
For the third time in eight league games this season, Arsenal were left scrapping for precious Premier League points with 10 men after William Saliba was dismissed for the very first time in his career.
The dismissal of the young French defender in the 35th minute proved to be the turning point of the match as Bournemouth took full advantage of the extra man.
The hosts broke the deadlock in the 61st minute when Ryan Christie coolly slotted past Aaron Ramsdale, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
The Cherries then doubled their advantage 10 minutes later when Patrick Kluivert, son of legendary striker Patrick Kluivert, scored his second goal in as many games to seal a memorable win for Bournemouth.
The victory comes as a welcome relief for Gary O'Neil, whose side had been struggling for consistency in recent weeks.
As for Arsenal, their defeat serves as a bitter reminder that the Premier League is full of surprises, and even the most unbeaten streaks can come crashing down at any moment.
The Gunners, who had been looking to extend their unbeaten run, are now left to regroup and reassess their title ambitions.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be left to ponder what could have been if Saliba had kept his cool and the team had played with the same discipline that had served them so well in previous games.
Regardless of the post-match analysis, one thing is certain: Bournemouth's victory is a testament to the unpredictable nature of the Premier League, and fans should be ready for many more twists and turns throughout the season.
