Arsenal go down to 10-men as Saliba is sent off at Bournemouth

2 hours ago

William Saliba became the third Arsenal player to be sent off this season after being shown a red against Bournemouth. 

The French defender pulled down Cherries striker Evanilason following a loose back pass from Leandro Trossard after 28 minutes. 

Saliba was initially booked for the challenge. However, Rob Jones was sent for an on field review and overturned it to a red.  

Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith, who was on co-commentary for Sky Sports said:  'It is an instinctive challenge, he is a quick lad, but would he have had the pace to get back?'

'He may have got round on the cover but he had a lot of ground to cover, he really did'
