Emmanuel Petit was surprised by Mikel Arteta’s touchline demeanour against Bournemouth and says the Arsenal manager did not look himself. Arsenal had the chance to go top of the Premier League on Saturday night but instead suffered their first defeat of the season as Bournemouth clinched a 2-0 win to climb into the top-half of the table.

Mikel Arteta lamented the “impossible task” faced by Arsenal following William Saliba’s red card as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth to miss the chance to go top of the Premier League. The defender was dismissed after 30 minutes following a VAR review for hauling down striker Evanilson near the halfway line and denying him a clear run on goal.
