London, April 12 -- Arsenal's 2-1 home defeat by Bournemouth on Saturday blew the Premier League title race wide open, as Brentford and Everton missed the chance to close in on Champions League qualification after a 2-2 draw. The Gunners could have opened up a 12-point lead at the top of the table, but a third defeat in four games for Mikel Arteta's men has put the destiny of the title back in Manchester City's hands. City have two games in hand on the leaders, starting with Sunday's trip to Chelsea, and host Arsenal next weekend. A few weeks ago Arsenal were dreaming of an unprecedented quadruple. But after losing to City in the League Cup final and being dumped out the FA Cup by second-tier Southampton, a first league title in 22 years may also now be slipping away. "We were very far from the standards we've shown all season, so it's a big punch in the face because we wanted to win this game so badly," said Arteta. "We didn't cope with the situations when they didn't go our way." Junior Kroupi reacted quickest to Adrien Truffert's deflected cross to give Bournemouth an early lead. Viktor Gyokeres levelled before the break from the penalty spot. It is their defensive record that has put Arteta's men in pole position for the title, but they were cut open with ease when Alex Scott finished off a fine team move for the winner. Later, Brentford and Everton missed the chance to move up the table by sharing points, while Brighton beat relegation-bound Burnley 2-0. In the early kick-off, West Ham beat Wolves 4-0. Liverpool's rising star and departing legend combined to ease the pressure on Arne Slot as goals from teenager Rio Ngumoha and Mohamed Salah beat Fulham 2-0, snapping the Reds' three-game losing streak. This was Salah's 256th Liverpool goal, but first at Anfield appearance since announcing he will leave the club at the end of the season. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Ngumoha became Liverpool's youngest ever Premier League goalscorer at Anfield....
