Arsenal MUST eradicate ill-discipline if they are to get title bid back on track after William Saliba's sending off cost Gunners in Bournemouth defeat, writes ISAAN KHAN

Daily Mail  

Last season, Arsenal had mastered the art of defence. William Saliba’s sending off for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity — he tugged back Evanilson, who was chasing an awful Leandro Trossard back pass — continues a trend of ill-discipline. It was a third time in eight league matches in which an Arsenal player has received a red card For those first 28 minutes, Arsenal did not look bad and were starting to make inroads with Mikel Merino in an unusually advanced position at the tip of the midfield and Trossard making incisive runs from the left channel. Mikel Arteta's men must improve their discipline if they are to get their title bid back on track Arteta made his feelings known by giving him the double substitution treatment, replacing him with Gabriel Jesus straight after. Whichever way he lines up, it is ill-discipline which is the root cause of Arsenal’s woes — and needs eradicating immediately if they are to get their title bid back on track.
