    I'm an Arsenal fan and can honestly say they lacked energy all season and are very fortunate to be in the top four. Until they add some variance to their play, they will not get close to challenging for title.

    Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouth

    Spurs end 2023 with a win.

    They are just one point outside of the top four going into the new year.

    There are more injury concerns for Ange Postecoglou though, with Pape Matar Sarr and Alejo Veliz both going off.

    Or does it? This looks close.

    There is definitely at least one Bournemouth player offside, but is Alex Scott onside?

    We're going to need the lines.

  5. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:05 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouth

    Alex Scott thinks he's got his second of the day but the flag goes up for offside.

    It was a nice header but Spurs' offside line works well.

    Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth are still pressing.

    They send a deep cross in from the left and Dominic Solanke sends a header wide.

    When it's all going right for Arsenal, the ball is firing. They carve teams open. That hasn't been the case of late and they've looked a little bit suspect at the back as well.

    FT: Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    That's three games without a win for Arsenal.

    They miss the chance to go top and instead end the year in fourth.

    Liverpool could be five points ahead of the Gunners by tomorrow evening.

    Alejo Veliz is in tears as he makes his way off the field.

    Spurs are going to have to see this out with 10 men. They've used all their substitutions.

    Referee Simon Hooper starts by booking Shaun Cooper, a member of the Bournemouth backroom staff.

    He then strolls across and shows Giovani Lo Celso and Ange Postecoglou cards too.

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    No festive cheer for Arsenal.

    Fulham, meanwhile, are delighted.

  13. Postpublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouth

    The two dugouts are scrapping!

    It's all because Spurs substitute Alejo Veliz has gone down with an injury and Bournemouth opted to play on.

    Bournemouth feel like Spurs' players are going down regularly.

    That'll do it!

    Leandro Trossard puts his cross into the stands.

    Arsenal are heading for a second defeat in a row.

    Arteta to blame here: insisting on playing the same out of form players in a system that has been found out. Need a fresh start in the New Year and to go after the FA Cup, as the League is gone, and this side doesn’t deserve a Champions League run.

    There can only be seconds left.

    Corner to Arsenal...

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Two poor crosses from Bukayo Saka see Arsenal's hopes fade further.

    Tom Cairney is subbed by Fulham for Harrison Reed as they try to waste a few more seconds.

    Emerson Royal is in the book for a trip now.
