Kluivert seals Bournemouth victory from the penalty spot as Arsenal lament Saliba's red card Arsenal's recent trend of accumulating red cards finally caught up with them, leading to their first defeat of the season. Mikel Arteta's team, which had been unbeaten until now, faced a setback when William Saliba was sent off—marking their third dismissal in just eight league matches. Bournemouth capitalized on this opportunity, celebrating a notable win thanks to goals from substitutes Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert. It was a memorable night for Bournemouth's manager, Andoni Iraola, as his dynamic squad achieved their first victory against a top-half team since defeating Manchester United last December. The win was particularly sweet for Iraola, given his history with Arteta, as they both played for the same youth team in San Sebastian. Arsenal, missing the influential Bukayo Saka for the trip to the south coast, struggled to find inspiration even before Saliba's red card shifted the momentum of the match. The defeat meant they missed the chance to climb to the top of the table, with Liverpool and Manchester City not playing until Sunday, and it marked Arsenal's first away loss of 2024.
