Bournemouth are becoming much more lively going forward. The changes in the team worked out very well for the manager and with Arsenal looking more tired, he lets Bournemouth arrive with much more danger to Arsenal's area, constantly attacking the flanks.
Bournemouth's goal, scored by Huijsen. From a Semenyo's kick from the fullback, Huijsen beat everyone with his head and placed the ball so well that raya couldn't do anything about it. Bournemouth managed to tie the match after the changes.
Off ⬇️ Araujo and Kluivert
In ⬆️ Semenyo and Scott
Changes designed to give more volume to the team's attack, along with Semenyo, who can give the team more attacking power from the right flank.
The first caution of the match was given to Evanilson for Bournemouth. The second caution was given to Ouattara for Bournemouth. The player lost the ball in the middle of the field and in an attempt to recover that ball, he kicked Odegaard which earned him the first yellow of the match.
The match has entered a stage in which both teams play calmly and only go forward when they find some available space. Still with no changes from either team, it seems to be time for some players to enter the field.
Arsenal are too close to the second goal. Saka, receiving the ball inside the box on the left and with a hook to his right foot, released the shot where Kepa managed to graze the ball with his fingers. In the end, the referee did not give a corner kick.
Arsenal continue to have possession and control of the ball, coming dangerously close to Bournemouth's goal and are close to the second goal. Bournemouth are looking to be able to get forward quickly on a counter attack that they can take advantage of.
The second half started with good intensity from both teams. Arsenal already had a great approach to the box where the play was disallowed for offside, and Bournemouth also had a good arrival in which a great pass from Kerkez, almost connected with Tavernier to push it.
The second half starts and the same 22 players that started the first half come on, that is to say, no changes were made for this half. We will see if Arsenal manages to maintain or extend the lead to give rest to their starters or if Bournemouth manages to give the blow.
The first half ends between Arsenal and Bournemouth. A match that was being very evenly matched but Arsenal managed to be more effective in front of goal to go ahead on the scoreboard. We will see if Arteta keeps these players who are his usual starters.
Great chance for Bournemouth. Kluivert made a great run from the middle of the pitch and positioned himself on the edge of the box to shoot with his right foot, the ball almost went into the goal even with a deflection off Saliba.
After the goal, Arsenal looks evidently more comfortable on the pitch, coming out better in the start they are making from their field. Bournemouth, on the other hand, lost the pressure with which they wanted to start the match.
Arsenal's goal, scored by Rice. Great pass from Odegaard before a diagonal from Rice that, in front of Kepa's exit, Rice eludes the goalkeeper and ends up defending without problems to the goal and scoring the first goal of the scoreboard. Arsenal already wins it at this moment and is almost qualified to Champions League.
Incredible chance for Arsenal. A great run by Martinelli, who reached the back line and released the cross where Trossard came to head the ball and Kepa, with a great save, kept the ball without giving a rebound.
Arsenal responded quickly to Bournemouth's arrival, recovering the ball high up in the Bournemouth area where Saka, gave the pass to Martinelli who, in front of goal, shot with his left foot and the ball passed quite close to the goal.
Bournemouth had a great chance to take the lead. After Kerkez went on the attack, he sent a great cross into the box where Evanilson, alone, headed straight at the goal but it ended up going just over the goal.
Bournemouth look to have possession of the ball after that little siege that Arsenal wanted to propose in front of them. Bournemouth, unlike Arsenal, are looking for a slower and less direct attack from touch and ball movement.
Arsenal are approaching Bournemouth's area with a lot of danger. With Declan Rice as the player who is getting into the box the best, they have already tried to find him on a couple of occasions where on one occasion, he had a shot that went wide and on another, they tried to find him on a cross where Zabarnyi had to push the ball away.
Important approach by Arsenal. Great first-time pass from Martinelli to Rice, who gets to the box and gets into the box and shoots a left-footed cross that passes very close to the goal guarded by Kepa. First dangerous approach in the match.
Very good pressing from Bournemouth in the middle of the pitch which is preventing Arsenal from playing well and building from their half. It's getting very difficult for the home side to get out of that pressure but they are trying through Partey and Rice.
The match starts quite calmly for both teams, playing touches without risking too much possession and not looking to lose the ball from their area. There is still no clear dominator of the match, as possession of the ball has been fairly evenly distributed.
The match between Arsenal and Bournemouth begins. Arsenal took the field without many variations, taking into account their upcoming UEFA Champions League second leg match, thinking about perhaps wanting to directly secure the Champions League spot. On the other hand, we will see if Bournemouth manages to beat Arsenal, a task that has been very difficult for them.
