Arsenal vs Bournemouth live: Read here PL teams updates, scores, head-to-head, other news

LONDON: Arsenal are being held 1-1 by AFC Bournemouth in a Premier League clash, with the hosts struggling to find rhythm at the Emirates as the match continues.

Despite leveling the score, Arsenal have looked far from convincing. Their pressing has lacked intensity, while sloppy passing and repeated losses in 50-50 duels have allowed Bournemouth to stay on the front foot for large spells.

Bournemouth created a key chance in the 41st minute when Evanilson forced a comfortable save from David Raya. Moments later, the visitors again threatened as Alex Scott drove forward, though his cross-shot drifted off target. The pressure came after Arsenal lost three consecutive duels in midfield, highlighting their lack of control.

Arsenal’s issues continued late in the first half. A dangerous free-kick from Scott in the 45th minute flashed across goal, with a Bournemouth player inches away from restoring the lead. The Gunners were relieved to head into the break level, with manager Mikel Arteta visibly frustrated on the touchline.

In the second half, Arsenal showed brief defensive resilience when Leandro Trossard tracked back nearly 60 yards to stop a Bournemouth attack after losing possession. The visitors appealed for a penalty during the move, but it was waved away. Arsenal attempted to build from the left shortly after, but the move fizzled out.

Notably, Arsenal have failed to register a shot on target since their goal, underlining their struggles in attack.
