Bournemouth stun Arsenal Aston Villa improve Champions League hopes

LONDON - Bournemouth won away at Arsenal for the first time in the Premier League on Saturday, and completed a memorable double to boost their chances of playing in Europe next season, thanks to a second-half fightback en route to a thrilling 2-1 win.

Aston Villa beat Fulham 1-0 to improve their hopes of finishing in the leagues top five and qualifying for the Champions League, while Leicester City defeated fellow relegated side Southampton 2-0 to end their nine-game drought without a goal at King Power Stadium.

Evertons emotional farewell to Goodison Park continued with an entertaining 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town as the relegated visitors came from two goals down to rescue a point.

At Emirates, Arsenals preparations for their huge Champions League second leg against Paris St Germain on Wednesday took a huge blow after Bournemouths Evanilson and Dean Huijsen scored in quick succession.

Declan Rice gave the Gunners the lead in the 34th minute, rounding goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and producing an accomplished finish on his 100th Arsenal appearance.

Arsenal had chances to extend their lead, but Dean Huijsen gave Bournemouth a deserved equaliser in the 67th minute before Evanilson bundled home eight minutes later to complete the turnaround.

Massive disappointment, Gunners captain Martin Odegaard told Sky Sports. It is too chaotic and too sloppy from us. The second half is not acceptable.

It is a massive game on Wednesday, but we have to use today to be ready and beat PSG on Wednesday.

Bournemouth move up to eighth in the table, which could be enough for European football next season, with 53 points, while Arsenal, who have just two league wins from six games, stay second with 67 points, three points above third-placed Manchester City.

First of all we knew that we have never got a point
