Viktor Gyokeres brings up wild excuse for Arsenal losing to BournemouthViktor Gyokeres spoke to the media after Arsenal suffered a significant 2-1 defeat against Bournemouth on Saturday - and one thing he said went viral on social mediaCommentsSportFelix Keith Senior Sports Reporter17:42, 11 Apr 2026View 2 ImagesViktor Gyokeres reacted to Arsenal's defeat(Image: TNT Sports)Viktor Gyokeres has been ridiculed after appearing to blame a dry pitch for Arsenal's damaging defeat against Bournemouth. The Gunners slipped up in a 2-1 loss against the Cherries on Saturday, potentially opening the door for Manchester City in the Premier League title race.‌Gyokeres scored from the penalty spot after a handball by Ryan Christie, but Arsenal were well beaten at home.

"We had some okay chances at the end," he said. "The pitch was maybe a bit dry there to be honest, so that didn't help, but of course like I said we all need to do better and take our chances."FOLLOW OUR ARSENAL FB PAGE!
