‘There was a sense of nervousness’ - Bournemouth star reveals how Arsenal fans fueled their victory at Emirates

The Gunners suffered their second home defeat of the season, losing 2-1 to Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.

The Cherries delivered a stunning blow to the Gunners' title hopes just over a week ago, with goals from Eli Kroupi Jr and Alex Scott securing a memorable win for Andoni Iraola’s side. 

The defeat was the first of two consecutive league losses for Arsenal, a slump that has allowed Manchester City to close the gap at the top of the table.

As speculation mounts about Arsenal's potential collapse in their quest for a first league title in over two decades, Adams offered insight into the mood among the home supporters.

“You could tell early on when they tried to play from the back that there was a sense of nervousness,” the American international told the Men in Blazers media network.

“It just takes one little error or one little mistake and the fans get a little bit nervy.”

Adams explained how the home crowd's anxiety played into the visiting team's hands.

“That's a difficult atmosphere to play in and thrive in when you're trying to chase a championship... As the opposition, it’s the best thing to hear.”

Following Arsenal's stumble, Manchester City have taken advantage of the title race by defeating Arsenal 2-1 last weekend and also winning 1-0 against Burnley to go top of the league table.
