The Gunners were beaten 2-0 by the Cherries and lost defender William Saliba to a straight red card in the first half after VAR stepped in to review his challenge on Dominic Solanke
The Sky Sports' presenting team were forced to deliver clarity on rumours circulating about Howard Webb's involvement during Arsenal's match against Bournemouth in which William Saliba was shown a controversial red card.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher initially hinted at concerns about Webb's role but later removed his social media post. Amidst the debate online, anchor Dave Jones and pundits Jamie Redknapp set the record straight regarding Webb's presence at the match. "There have been one or two people you might have seen on social media speculating about what Howard Webb was up to in the crowd, the head of the PGMOL," Jones said.
"He's not trying to , he's watching the game," Redknapp replied. "For anyone to think have the audacity or the ego to think 'i'm going to influence this game - we're talking about Premier League football now, I think it's nonsense for anyone to even question that. Bournemouth managed to make the most of their numerical advantage, with Ryan Christie breaking the deadlock and Justin Kluivert sealing the win from the spot. This loss was Arsenal's first away defeat in the Premier League since December 2023.
