Arsenal were unable to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to 12 points after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Gunners had moved nine points clear of Manchester City following a 2-0 victory over Everton, while City were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham, raising hopes of a wider gap at the summit.
However, in the early kick-off, it was Bournemouth who struck first, as Kroupi Jr finished from close range at the near post in the first half.
Arsenal responded before the interval, drawing level through a well-taken penalty converted by Viktor Gyokeres.
The decisive moment came late in the game when Alex Scott netted the winner for the visitors at the Emirates Stadium, dealing a blow to Arsenal’s title ambitions.
The result leaves room for Manchester City to reduce the gap if they secure victory against Chelsea on Sunday.
