They had now recovered more points from losing positions than any other team in this Premier League season (15). . The Gunners selected a starting XI that did not include a player who made an appearance under previous manager Arsene Wenger in all competitions for the first time since 22 January 1986 against Aston Villa in the League Cup. [c/o Harvey Downes]. . Reiss Nelson scored in the seventh minute of added time at the end of the game.

Comments:

League position: 20th . AFC Bournemouth had now conceded 51 goals in their 25 games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team in the division. . The Cherries failed in their attempt to win consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since October 2018. . Timed at 9.11 seconds, Philip Billing's goal became the second-quickest in Premier League history after Shane Long for Southampton at Watford on 23 April 2019 (7.69 seconds).
