Bournemouth entered history by winning an outside victory over Arsenal for the very first time when Andoni Iraola obtained one on his childhood teammate, Mikle Arteta, at the Emirates.
The Iraola team came from a goal behind to win 2-1 while the Cherries finished a very first double league on the Gunners.
Declan Rice gave the hosts the head of his 100th appearance of Arsenal while Artata appointed a strong starting outing, but the second half goals of Dean Huijsen and Evanilson turned the game.
The result passes Bournemouth to the eighth and gives a major boost to his hopes to play European football for the first time next season.
For the Gunners, on the other hand, they head for the semi-final of the semi-final of the Crunch Champions League on Wednesday with the PSG at the back of a defeat.
No more memories made 🥰

Rice scores in the century of the appearances of arsenal
However, the hosts started sharply. Rice lit a few wide efforts from the start when the Gunners were starting to probe.
But it was the visitors who had the first real chance of the game, Evanilson heading towards the whipped cross of Milos Kerkez when the Brazilian may have been tested at least David Raya.
Gabriel Martinelli then dragged a wide left foot effort after a neat accumulation between Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka.
Trossard got closer to giving the Gunners advance it shortly after, but his downward header was well held by Kepa in the aim of Bournemouth.
But just five minutes later, the hosts passed the dead end when Rice hung on to an Odegaard pass before taking the Kepa ball coldly and finishing with confidence for his eighth campaign goal.

Evanilson and Justin Kluivert then had a chance while Iraola sought a positive response from his players after taking a goal behind.
Bournemouth retaliated after the break
After restarting, SAKA stumbled its lines with a head inside the six -meter box before getting closer to a little long grater effort after this closely wide sparkling.
Antoine Semenyo was then brought while Bournemouth sought to save something from the game.
And it turned out to be an inspired change because the long return of the Ghana international has set up the equalizer.
Over 67 minutes, the Semenyo jet deeply in the arsenal box found the head of Huijsen and the 20 -year -old admired young man led his effort in front of Raya and in the most distant corner.

Suddenly, Arsenal looked shaken. Cherries, on the other hand, felt an opportunity.
And, of course, they built on this momentum taking the lead with a quarter of an hour remaining when Evanilson brought together the ball at home after Marcus Tavernier’s head in a corner.
He turned out to be the last action of the match while Bournemouth held a famous victory, while Arsenal left their injuries before a monumental confrontation in Paris next week.
