A limp 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, the first time they had ever been beaten at home by the south-coast club, means they go into Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg at Paris Saint-Germain with much to ponder — and plenty to improve.

It marked the first time Arsenal had conceded two goals from set-piece situations in the same Premier League game since December 2023.

But it would be Arsenal ruing their misses. Moments after his introduction, Anthoine Semenyo heaved a long throw into the box for Dean Huijsen to head a deserved equaliser home. Evanilson would put the Cherries ahead as he wrestled with Odegaard.
