Arsenal faced a significant setback in their match against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday evening.
The 2-0 loss not only allowed Liverpool and Manchester City to pull ahead in the Premier League table with victories on Sunday but also resulted in William Saliba receiving a red card, leaving Arsenal without their key center-back for the upcoming Liverpool game.
Overall, it was a less than ideal situation for Arsenal.
Here are the lowest-rated Arsenal players from the match, as per 90min’s player ratings.
Jakub Kiwior: 2/10
The fact that Kiwior was substituted in the 37th minute and then taken off in the 81st minute speaks volumes about his performance in the game.
Failing to win any of his tackles and making a costly mistake that led to a penalty for Bournemouth, Kiwior’s performance was undoubtedly poor.
Players who underperformed
William Saliba: 2/10
If William Saliba had not received a red card, Arsenal might have had a chance to win the game.
The red card added to a disappointing week for Saliba, as he faced criticism from the French media for his recent performances in international matches.
As a result, he will be unavailable for the crucial Liverpool game due to suspension.
Leandro Trossard: 2/10
Leandro Trossard’s mistake led to the situation that resulted in William Saliba’s red card.
Trossard’s performance did not improve after that error, as he struggled with passing accuracy and failed to create chances for his team.
