Mikel Arteta failed to galvanise an instant upturn in Arsenal’s fortunes as the Gunners had to come from behind just to salvage a point in a 1-1 Boxing Day draw at Bournemouth. A point leaves Arsenal still down in 11th and with one win in their last 14 games in all competitions under three different managers. Reiss Nelson and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also had efforts blocked, but the Gunners’ defensive problems were soon exposed by Bournemouth. Gosling robbed the ball midway inside the Arsenal half and continued his run forward into the box to meet Jack Stacey’s low cross. The Arsenal captain scored his 14th goal of the season as he swept home a loose ball inside the Bournemouth box.
