Former Celtic Star Scores in Stunning Arsenal Upset

Former Celtic star Ryan Christie played a key role in Bournemouth’s shock 2-0 win over Arsenal, scoring a decisive goal in the 70th minute.

The Cherries took advantage of Arsenal being reduced to 10 men after William Saliba’s first-half red card, and Christie capitalised on the situation with a composed finish.

Set up by a well-timed pass from Justin Kluivert, Christie found himself in space and expertly slotted the ball into the net to put Bournemouth ahead. His goal, coming at a crucial point in the Game, swung momentum firmly in the hosts’ favour.

In addition to his goal, Christie’s energetic performance was instrumental in Bournemouth’s overall play.

His pressing and ability to link midfield with attack kept the Gunners on the back foot, ensuring Bournemouth maintained control against a weakened Arsenal side. It was a display reminiscent of his big-Game performances at Celtic, where he was known for turning up in crucial moments.

Since leaving Celtic in 2021, Christie has grown into an important player for Bournemouth, and his performance in this Game showed he’s still capable of delivering when it matters most.
