Ian Wright attempted to make sense of Arsenal's situation following their disappointing 2-1 defeat by Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Gunners took the lead in the early fixture when Hector Bellerin broke the deadlock in the second half at the Vitality Stadium.

But Arsenal were pegged back by Callum Wilson and Jordan Ibe, whose goals secured the Cherries' first ever victory over Arsenal.

Wright appeared defeated when discussing the fixture on BBC 5 Live, and refused to hit out at individuals or Arsenal's overall performance.

Instead he admitted that this is simply what Arsenal supporters have come to expect in recent months, and with Alexis Sanchez set to leave, things will likely get even worse.

"Well I just think Arsenal are in a situation now - especially without players of that calibre - it's just an ordinary side, they're just an ordinary team," said Wright, discussing the defeat.

"I thought [Alex] Iwobi started the game pretty well, he done really well getting forward. Hector done well getting forward, and scored the goal.

"But in the end they couldn't finish Bournemouth off, and Bournemouth didn't get themselves in the game. I don't think Ibe got into the game particularly quickly.

"And [Ryan] Fraser didn't get into the game on the other side.

"But once they did Arsenal just couldn't deal with them, just couldn't deal with them, because that's the kind of team they are at the moment."
