Former England international criticizes Arsenal's defense.

Legendary Ian Wright criticized Arsenal's weak defense after the London club lost 1-2 at home to Bournemouth in the 35th round of the Premier League.

Lewis-Skelly was disappointed as Arsenal lost 1-2 to Bournemouth in the 35th round of the Premier League.

In the early hours of May 4th, Arsenal took the lead but were then thrashed twice by Bournemouth, who staged a comeback at Emirates Stadium.

“Both goals conceded came easily,” Wright told The Guardian . “I don’t want to criticize the players too much because I understand they’re under a lot of pressure in the Champions League. But the team needs to perform better.”

“In the first goal conceded, Arsenal’s marking was problematic,” Wright continued. “Both Arsenal defenders failed to spot the Bournemouth player. It’s strange to see that elementary mistake, especially knowing Arsenal are usually very careful in defense, but this season they haven’t been as good at set pieces.”

"Conceding two goals at this stage of the season is very disappointing. I know they're exhausted, both physically and mentally, but they have to push for that final push. They need to get the job done," the former England striker complained.

This also marks the first time in history that Arsenal have lost to Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.

This result puts Mikel Arteta's team at risk of being knocked out of the Champions League qualification spots if their performance continues to decline. They are now only 3 points ahead of third-placed Manchester City with only 3 rounds of matches remaining.
