Gyökeres Blames Dry Emirates Turf After Arsenal’s 2-1 Loss to Bournemouth

Arsenal’s Premier League title bid took a blow when they fell 2-1 at home to Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium. It was their third straight domestic defeat. Viktor Gyökeres, who converted Arsenal’s penalty, missed a gilt-edged chance late on. He told the BBC that the “dry pitch” at the Emirates did not help his footing or his shot. The loss cuts Arsenal’s lead to six points if Manchester City beat Chelsea on Sunday. Arsenal now turn their focus to the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final and a crucial league trip to the Etihad.
