FOOTBALL – Bournemouth won away at Arsenal for the first time in the Premier League yesterday, and completed a memorable double to boost their chances of playing in Europe next season, thanks to a second-half fightback en route to a thrilling 2-1 win.
Aston Villa beat Fulham 1-0 to improve their hopes of finishing in the league’s top five and qualifying for the Champions League, while Leicester City defeated fellow relegated side Southampton 2-0 to end their nine-game drought without a goal at King Power Stadium.
Everton’s emotional farewell to Goodison Park continued with an entertaining 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town as the relegated visitors came from two goals down to rescue a point.
At Emirates, Arsenal’s preparations for their huge Champions League second leg against Paris St Germain on Wednesday took a huge blow after Bournemouth’s Evanilson and Dean Huijsen scored in quick succession.
Declan Rice gave the Gunners the lead in the 34th minute, rounding goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and producing an accomplished finish on his 100th Arsenal appearance.
Arsenal had chances to extend their lead, but Dean Huijsen gave Bournemouth a deserved equaliser in the 67th minute before Evanilson bundled home eight minutes later to complete the turnaround.
