At 00:30 a.m. on October 20, Beijing time, in the 8th round of the English Premier League, Arsenal challenged Bournemouth away.

In the first half, Arsenal due to injuries affected the lineup is not complete, it seems that the confidence is insufficient, Bournemouth is aggressive at home, but neither side has achieved anything, Saliba's last defender pulled a foul and left the field, Arsenal played 1 less, and drew 0-0 at half-time; In the second half, Christie broke the deadlock before Justin Kluywi sealed the win.

In the end, Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the season in all competitions with a 2-0 defeat away to Bournemouth.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal, the Cherry Army 4231 formation, starting value 221 million euros, Arsenal,Arteta changed the formation of 4231, the starting value is 623 million euros, Havertz is up front, Merino is behind, flanked by Trossard and Sterling, Rice and Thomas partner in the back, Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Ben White form a back four, and Raya is in goal。

In this campaign, Arsenal due to the injury of many main players of Saka and Odegaard, and the away game, appeared to be lacking in confidence and played very conservatively, which is not the temperament and style of the championship team at all. Bournemouth borrowed the advantage of the home stadium to fight against Arsenal, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, aiming for the three points. In this case, in the 27th minute of the game, Trossard made a mistake in the return pass, Saliba, as the last defender, pulled down the attacker who was about to form a single knife, and the referee sent Saliba straight red after looking at VAR. Arsenal plays 1 man less, Arteta's tactic is to defend and not attack, which is completely different from the style of Manchester City and Liverpool, even if they play 1 man less, they will definitely fight to the death in the face of non-title teams, but Arsenal does not have this temperament, the cheesy point is that there is no championship appearance, and there is no ability to deal with the team's injury situation. As a result, Bournemouth, who played one more player at home, scored two goals in a row and sent Arsenal to its first defeat of the season 2-0.

Full game,Arsenal managed 52 per cent possession and had just six shots on goal, less than one-half of Bournemouth's 13 shots, with Arsenal having just one on target compared to Bournemouth's four. Injuries affected and played 1 less, is not a reason for the title contender team to lose to the middle and lower teams of the Premier League, Arsenal still has a long, long way to go to win the title......
