Bournemouth 2 - Arsenal 1: Jordon Ibe’s first Premier League goal for Bournemouth condemned Arsenal to a 2-1 loss on the south coast, with Alexis Sanchez conspicuous by his absence. Callum Wilson’s third goal in four league games had Bournemouth level after Hector Bellerin handed the visitors a lead they could only squander. The defeat, and its manner, proved another blow to Arsene Wenger, with the Arsenal boss now resigned to losing key attacker Sanchez in the January transfer window. Arsenal slipped to five games without a win in all competitions on a frustrating afternoon for the north Londoners. Just when Arsenal looked to dominate possession and coast to the win however, they switched off and were duly punished.
