The visitors stunned the Gunners early on, with Junior Kroupi opening the scoring in the 17th minute. Arsenal struggled to find rhythm but eventually drew level when Viktor Gyökeres converted from the penalty spot.
Just as the hosts looked to regain control, Alex Scott struck in the 74th minute to restore Bournemouth’s lead. Mikel Arteta’s side failed to mount any meaningful response, drawing boos from home supporters at full-time.
