Martin Keown, former Arsenal defender, on TNT Sports: Want to see the winning goal? I mean, it's a thing of beauty from Bournemouth, a lovely little move, and a great finish from Alex Scott. The way that Scott just floats into the space and then caresses the ball past David Raya is just brilliant. Such composure. It seems the pressure has hamstrung Arsenal. After only suffering three defeats in their opening 49 matches of this season in all competitions, the Gunners have since lost three of their last four. There were three huge defeats, too. Losing the Carabao cup final, getting knocked out of the FA Cup, and now taking a big hit in the title race. Next week they have Manchester City, and if City beat Chelsea tomorrow, then turn over the Gunners at the Etihad, you have to say they are the favourites all of a sudden. Alarm bells are ringing in north London. I'm sorry, we simply have to talk about the fact that Arsenal fans just booed their team off the pitch. I'm actually still in shock a little, I can't lie. This is a team that have been brilliant all season, and are still in the box seat to win a first Premier League title in 22 years. Yes, it's a poor result, and yes, it hurts their chance of glory, but they don't deserve to be booed. My colleague just turned to me and bemoaned it's 'typical modern football fickle, ' and he's not wrong. Fans are spoiled these days and seem to boo whenever anything goes wrong. It needs to be stamped out of the game. Not right. It's been two minutes since the final whistle, and the Emirates is almost empty already. The fans have taken no time to dip after booing their players off. I mean, who saw this coming? While Arsenal haven't been in the best form, I didn't think they would get turned over like that in their own backyard. The Gunners just never got going. They felt the pressure early and didn't do themselves any favours. Never did it seem like the Gunners would go on to find a winning goal. They were toothless all afternoon. A massive dent to their title hopes. Boos? Surely not. I can't believe that. Arsenal fans have been treated to win after win all season in the Premier League, but one loss and they boo their players. Wow. It's a really bad result for the Gunners, mind. They have opened the door for an in-form Manchester City to hunt them down. Fair play to Bournemouth, what a win. David Raya is up for the corner. But he is soon racing back is the corner is cleared, he doesn't want to take any risks. And now Bournemouth have a free-kick and that's the cue for Arsenal fans to flood to the exits. Another chance for Viktor Gyokers. .. but no. He shifts left, shifts right, pulls the trigger, but it rolls harmlessly wide of the post. Is this game gone? Just two minutes to go. Was that the moment? Viktor Gyokeres has a free header; he has to get it on target. .. but he gets it all wrong. It clearly takes a deflection as it goes wide, though, but the referee doesn't give the corner. One of those days. That is Alex Jimenez's last involvement, he hobbles off beind the goal. He is replaced by Adama Smith, while attacker Enes Unal comes on as Andoni Iraola runs down the clock. Arsenal have five minutes to salvage this. WOW! Alex Jimenez, take a bow. The full-back has just stopped a certain goal with one hell of a challenge. Gabriel, of all people, races into the box and is through, but Jimenez sweeps across to slide through the ball. And he then wins a foul for good measure. I hate the fact that every tackle against them, Ar. ..
