MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Arsenal blew the chance to go top of the English Premier League after a shock 2-0 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday.
In one of the biggest upsets of the burgeoning season, 10-man Arsenal lost for the first time.
Mikel Arteta’s team finished runner-up in the last two years and could have leapfrogged leader Liverpool and defending champion Manchester City in second place with a win at Bournemouth.
But Arsenal’s chances were hit after William Saliba was sent off in the first half at Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth took full advantage with Ryan Christie scoring in the 70th minute and Justin Kluivert converting a penalty nine minutes later.
