The incident took place in the 30th minute when Saliba fouled Bournemouth striker Evanilson, effectively preventing a clear goal-scoring opportunity. Although initially shown a yellow card by referee Rob Jones, the decision was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review.
The pivotal moment unfolded when Leandro Trossard's poor back pass put Saliba out of position, allowing Evanilson to break through. Saliba's challenge was deemed a last-man foul, resulting in his first career red card. This left Arsenal with only 10 men for the remainder of the game.
Despite their efforts, Arsenal struggled to manage the game with a man down and ultimately fell to a 2-0 defeat. Ryan Christie opened the scoring for Bournemouth in the 70th minute with a goal from a corner. Justin Kluivert added a second goal in the 78th minute, converting a penalty to secure the win for Bournemouth.
