William Saliba handed clear Arsenal red card verdict vs Bournemouth as Ben White point made

William Saliba has been sent a clear message by Alan Shearer following his sending off in the surprise 2-0 Premier League defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday evening. The Gunners suffered their first defeat of the season - at the Vitality Stadium - with Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert both on target in the second half.

Mikel Arteta's side started the game well but proceedings twisted dramatically when Saliba was shown a straight red card in the 30th minute for dragging Evanilson to the floor, as the last man following a stray pass from Leandro Trossard. As a result of his dismissal, he will be suspended for the huge title clash at home to Liverpool next Sunday.
