Dembele's blitzkrieg made Arsenal lose to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, before preparing for the second leg; the Gunners still need to face the challenge of Bournemouth in the league. In the 35th round of the Premier League this weekend, Arsenal played against Bournemouth at home. With Rice's first record, Heysen and Evan Nielsson scored 2 goals in 8 minutes, and the Gunners lost 1:2, suffering a two-game losing streak at home. Although Bournemouth is only ranked 10th in the standings, 50 points have already created the highest score in the Premier League in team history. Even if there is a second round of the Champions League next week, Arteta does not rotate, Saka, Martineli and Trosad join forces with the frontcourt Trident; Thomas ends the suspension and goes to Rice, and Odgao is partnering with the midfield; Ben White, Saliba, Kiviol and Skelly join hands with the defense, and the goalkeeper is still Raya.

After the start of the game, Arsenal played extremely proactively. In the 14th minute, Martineli kept passing the ball, and Rice followed up and missed the ball; 2 minutes later, Martineli made a breakthrough cross, and Rice hit the ball again but missed it; in the 25th minute, Kolkz received a diagonal pass from Heisen from the left and made a precise cross, Evannielsson rushed to the front of the goal and rubbed the crossbar slightly out of bounds; in the 30th minute, Martineli successfully broke through with confidence on the left and successfully made a cross from the bottom, Trosad crossed the goal, and Kepa steadily held the ball down the goal line.

In the 34th minute, Thomas leaned against the defense and returned, Odd High followed up and made the slant plug just right, Rice inserted forward and Kepa who had shot the empty goal, 1:0! Rice scored 8 goals in all competitions, the highest in his career; he represented the Gunners who had scored 15 goals and tied the number of goals in West Ham. In the 42nd minute, Cruivet Jr. rushed into the trap and cut inward and shot slightly higher; in the 45th minute, Raya made a mistake in the backcourt, but fortunately, Evannielsson's hanging goal did not hit the goal frame.

The second half of the game changed sides and then fought again. Not only did the Gunners fail to gain the advantage, but they gradually became passive in the scene; in the 56th minute, Saka swam to the left to open the space and passed one-on-one to the defense and shot and passed by the goal; in the 67th minute, Sai Goezing threw the ball with his hand and threw it directly into the penalty area. Heysen headed the ball from a close distance into the net, 1:1! The 21-year-old Heysen has become a hot center back in the summer transfer market. He has attracted the interest of many giants in Real Madrid, Bayern, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

In the 75th minute, Scott took a corner kick, Tavenie flew in the front point, and Evannielsson's back post still pushed the ball into the goal under Odegao's pull, 1:2! From leading to falling behind, Arteta doesn't have many ways, and can only maintain the offensive rhythm on the field through continuous substitutions. In the end, Arsenal fell again at home 1:2. The Gunners currently ranked second in the standings with 67 points, leading Nottingham Forest 7 points; with three rounds left in the league and needing to play against Liverpool and Newcastle, the qualification for the Champions League has become no longer solid.
