The Cherries’ defence held on in the first half

Bournemouth, who drew 0-0 against Spurs in their most recent tough game, went to the Emirates Stadium with little hope of picking up points. They looked to rely mainly on their strikers to outscore Arsenal, despite the fact that they had not scored a single goal at Arsenal for a long time.

It did not take long for them to break under the pressure and concede one. It was a terrible mistake from their own defender Steve Cook, who played a backpass to Adam Federici in goal straight into the path of the onrushing Sanchez, who obliged by putting the ball into the net.

Bournemouth never recovered from this error and were kept occupied all night long by Arsenal’s attacks.
