The match ends

The match between Arsenal and Bournemouth has come to an end. Arsenal started off winning and were enjoying relative ease, but they ran into a Bournemouth side that never stopped trying and pulled off a great comeback at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal will be looking to prepare for their Champions League clash.

Arsenal is putting intense pressure on Bournemouth in search of that second goal that could equalize. For now, Bournemouth looks very well-defended, and Arsenal doesn't see much space to do damage.

Added

The fourth official decided to add six more minutes of added time, taking us to 90+6'. We'll see if Arsenal can equalize in this time, or if Bournemouth can hold on to their strong away result.

Substitutions

Substitutions in Arsenal:Off. White, Saka and Martinelli In. Zinchenko, Sterling and Nwaneri Now yes, Arteta looks to give his team a rest for the next Champions League match.Substitution in Bournemouth:Off. Evanilson ⚽In Jebbison

Arsenal lost complete control of the match from the first goal, and now with Bournemouth's comeback, the visiting team is able to position themselves better on the pitch, covering Arsenal's spaces very well and finding them precisely in attack.

After a VAR review in which a possible disallowance for offside was first reviewed and then a handball immediately before the goal, the VAR ends up determining that the goal is legitimate and that Bournemouth completes their comeback for the moment and turns it around in London.

GOOOOOOOOOAL FROM BOURNEMOUTH!

Bournemouth's goal was scored by Evanilson. From a corner kick at the near post, Tavernier flicked the ball on, and Eva

Substitutions

Substitution in Arsenal:Off ⬇️ Rice ⚽In ⬆️ Merino Substitution with the intention of giving Rice a rest for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.Substitution in Bournemouth: Off ⬇️ Ouattara 🤕In ⬆️ Brooks Ouattara is off with an adductor injury, which is why the player has to leave the pitch.

Bournemouth are becoming much more dynamic in their attacking efforts. The manager's changes to the team have worked out very well, and with an Arsenal side that's looking more tired, he's allowing Bournemouth to make much more dangerous runs into Arsenal's penalty area, constantly attacking the flanks.

GOOOOOOOOL FROM BOURNEMOUTH!

Bournemouth's goal was scored by Huijsen. From a throw-in by Semenyo, which was launched directly into the box, Huijsen beat everyone with his head and positioned the ball so well that Rayo couldn't do anything. Bournemouth equalized after the substitutions.

Substitutions in Bournemouth

Araujo and Kluivert leave

Semenyo and Scott enterChanges designed to give more volume to the team's attack, along with a Semenyo who can give the team more overflow from the right wing.

Ouattara was booked first in Bournemouth. He lost the ball in midfield and, in an attempt to win it back, kicked Odegaard, earning himself his first yellow card of the match.

The match has entered a phase where both teams are playing calmly, only pushing forward when they find some space available. Even with no changes by either team, it seems time for some players to come onto the field.

Arsenal had it!

Arsenal is too close to a second goal. Saka received the ball inside the box on the left and, with a hook for his right foot, unleashed a shot that Kepa managed to tap with his fingers. In the end, the referee didn't award a corner.

Arsenal continues to dominate possession and control the ball, approaching Bournemouth's goal with danger and is close to a second goal. Bournemouth is looking to get out quickly on the attack with counterattacks that they can exploit.

The second half started with good intensity from both teams. Arsenal had a great approach to the box, but the play was ruled offside, and Bournemouth also had a good attack, almost connecting with Tavernier after a great pass from Kerkez.

The second half begins with the same 22 players who came off the first half coming on, meaning no substitutions were made for this half. We'll see if Arsenal can maintain or extend their lead to rest their starters, or if Bournemouth can pull off a coup.

The first half ends

The first half between Arsenal and Bournemouth concludes. The match was very even, but Arsenal managed to be more effective in front of goal and take the lead. We'll see if Arteta keeps these players, his usual starters.

Bournemouth had it!

Great chance for Bournemouth. Kluivert made a great run from the middle of the pitch and positioned himself on the edge of the box to shoot with his right foot. The ball almost went in, even though Saliba took a deflection.

After the goal, Arsenal clearly looked more comfortable on the pitch, getting better at their own half. Bournemouth, for its part, lost the pressing it had sought to start the match with.

GOOOOOOOOL FROM ARSENAL!

Arsenal scored, Rice scored. A great pass from Odegaard, facing a diagonal pass from Rice, who, facing Kepa, evaded the goalkeeper and finished without problems, scoring the first goal on the scoreboard. Arsenal already have the lead at this point and are almost qualified for the Champions League.

Arsenal had it!

An incredible chance for Arsenal. Martinelli made a great run to the goal line and delivered a cross where Trossard arrived to head the ball home, and Kepa, with a superb save, kept the ball in without a rebound.

Arsenal responds!

Arsenal responded quickly to Bournemouth's attack, recovering the ball high above the Bournemouth area where Saka passed to Martinelli who, facing goal, shot with his left foot and the ball went very close to the goal.

Bournemouth had it!

Bournemouth had a great chance to take the lead. After Kerkez launched a charge, he sent a great cross into the box where Evanilson, alone, headed straight at goal, but it ended up going just wide.

Bournemouth looks to maintain possession after Arsenal's brief siege against them. Unlike Arsenal, Bournemouth looks to attack in a slower, less direct way, using touch and movement.

Arsenal are approaching Bournemouth's penalty area with great danger. Declan Rice, the player who is best at getting into the box, has already tried to find him on a couple of occasions. Once, he shot wide, and another time, they tried to find him with a cross that Zabarnyi had to parry.

Arsenal had a great chance. Martinelli made a great first-time pass to Rice, who reached the box and, coming in, fired a left-footed shot that went just wide of Kepa's goal. This was the first real chance of the match.

Bournemouth's pressing was very strong in midfield, preventing Arsenal from getting out of the gates and building from their own half. The home team is having a tough time escaping that pressure, but they're trying to do so through Partey and Rice.

The match started fairly calmly for both teams, who were using passing moves without risking possession and not looking to lose it from their own penalty area. There's still no clear dominance in the match, as they've shared possession fairly widely.

The match between Arsenal and Bournemouth begins. Arsenal took to the field with little chance of success, considering their upcoming UEFA Champions League second leg, and perhaps hoping to secure a Champions League spot outright. We'll see if Bournemouth can beat Arsenal, a task that has proved very difficult for them.
