It was a special afternoon for the Cherries as they slowed down Arsenal’s Premier League title charge. Due to Manchester City having two games in hand over Arsenal, if they win both of those, they will be just three points behind, setting up a nervy final few weeks of the season.

Bournemouth’s Junior Kroupi opened the scoring for the away side in the 17th minute before Viktor Gyokeres equalised from the spot ten minutes before half-time. However, Junior Kroupi’s goal was significant as it led the 19-year-old to become the first player under the age of 20 to score 10 Premier League goals since 2000.

The player’s potential has been realised, as it was revealed in March that Liverpool are one of several clubs keeping tabs on the Bournemouth man. After a disappointing season for the Reds, Junior Kroupi’s emergence will appeal to them even more as they look to add attacking quality to get themselves back in contention for trophies.
