Football

AFC Bournemouth defeated league leaders Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday to reach 12 Premier League games without a loss.

Bournemouth continued their unbeaten form with a 2-1 win away at Arsenal on Saturday, according to The Guardian. The result sets a new club record of 12 matches without defeat in the Premier League. Eli Junior Kroupi opened the scoring after 17 minutes before Viktor Gyokeres equalised for the hosts with a penalty. Alex Scott secured the victory for the visitors with a strike in the 74th minute, per the Associated Press.

Andoni Iraola's side has not lost a league fixture since forward Antoine Semenyo joined Manchester City in January. The 26-year-old moved to the Etihad Stadium for an initial fee of £62.5m, with potential add-ons reaching £65m. Semenyo had scored 10 goals for the South Coast club earlier this season before his departure, per Al Jazeera.

Bournemouth now sit 13th in the table with 45 points from 32 matches. The defeat leaves Arsenal at the top of the standings but narrows their lead over Manchester City, according to Sky Sports.
