Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. AFC Bournemouth is hosting Arsenal FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' It’s high time Iraola made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' Arsenal FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' AFC Bournemouth seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 17' Bukayo Saka doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 22' Italy international Jorginho has been a key figure this campaign — 4 goals and 4 assists in the Array this season.
  • 27' AFC Bournemouth currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 32' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 33' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kai Havertz.
  • 38' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 43' AFC Bournemouth are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 44' A stunning finish from Martin Odegaard — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 49' Declan Rice has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 53' What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 0-3.
  • 58' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 59' Luis Sinisterra has so much to prove this time. He replaces Marcus Tavernier on 59 minute.
  • 64' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ben White suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' Oleksandr Zinchenko makes way for Takehiro Tomiyasu at the 69 minute mark. A tactical switch from Arsenal FC.
  • 74' Marcos Senesi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 202 appearances.

  • 88' AFC Bournemouth are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Arsenal FC's 4-3-3 shape.
  • It finishes all square. AFC Bournemouth and Arsenal FC share the spoils 0-4.
