After being knocked out of the FA Cup by lower-league side Southampton seven days ago, the Gunners were defeated at home by Bournemouth today in the 32nd round of the English Premier League. Bournemouth took all three points from the Emirates with a 2:1 result, thereby giving Manchester City a chance to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to just six points if they defeat Chelsea tomorrow, while also having a game in hand. This would keep the race for the English championship title open until the very end. Bournemouth took the lead at the Emirates in the 17th minute with a goal from Kroupi, Arsenal equalized in the 35th minute when Gyokeres converted a penalty, and Scott secured the win for Bournemouth in the 74th minute after a brilliant play. Result and scorers: Arsenal - Bournemouth 1:2 (Gyokeres penalty 35' - Kroupi 17', Scott 74')
