Comments:

League position: 9th AFC Bournemouth had now conceded three goals in six of their last eight games in the Premier League. The Cherries had now scored in nine of their ten home games so far in this Premier League season. In their second season in the division, they had now scored three goals in consecutive Premier League games for a second time (also in March 2016 versus Newcastle United and Swansea City).

Comments:

League position: 4th This was the first time that Arsenal had come back to draw a Premier League game after being three goals down. This was the first time that the Gunners had trailled at half-time so far in this Premier League season (played 20). Only bottom-of-the-table Hull City (nine) had now conceded more penalties so far in this Premier League than Arsenal (six).
