“Bournemouth” delivered a shock in the current round of the English Championship by defeating future “Shakhtar” opponents “Arsenal” from London. The visiting team faced a collapse, left with ten men midway through the first half due to defender William Saliba's red card and conceding two goals after the break.

In the 70th minute, Ryan Christie put “Bournemouth” ahead with a precise shot on goal following a corner exchange. Justin Kluivert established the final score by confidently converting a penalty awarded for a foul from the “Arsenal” goalkeeper.

Notably, Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarnyi played a crucial role in securing the three points, spending the entire match on the field.
