With Philip Billing's nine-second goal, Arsenal conceded the second fastest goal in Premier League history. After receiving treatment on the field, Trossard suffered an injury and was unable to continue the game just 20 minutes later. Emile Smith-Rowe took his place in place of the limping Belgian player.
The first half at the Emirates against a team in the league that is in danger of relegation did not go as planned for Arteta's team.
Arteta said of Trossard's injury: "It is a worry, he came to me straight away and said he couldn't continue, he'd felt something when he was tracking back, so we had to take him off. We'll assess him and see how he is."
On several occasions, Aaron Ramsdale was called into action to cut the deficit to one. Given that City defeated Newcastle 2-0 in the early kickoff to close the gap at the top to just two points, Saturday's match must be won. The Gunners were still able to come back from two goals down against despite the Belgian's dismissal.
With a 2-0 lead after an hour, Bournemouth, who scored within ten seconds, threatened a significant victory. Reiss Nelson's thunderous strike in the 97th minute ignited the home crowd and Arsenal's comeback, which ultimately resulted in a goal.
