Arsenal fans notice brilliant Calum Chambers moment vs Bournemouth

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers has arguably been one of the club's most consistent defenders so far this season.

Chambers spent the 2018/19 season on loan at then newly promoted Fulham, making 33 appearances for the club, scoring two goals.

The 24-year-old returned to Arsenal in the summer has played in four Premier League games so far this season, playing in the right-back position for the Gunners' last three outings in the league.

His latest performance helped Unai Emery's men to a clean sheet in the 1-0 win against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium, a game which saw them keep just their second clean sheet of the season.

After taking an early lead through a David Luiz header in the ninth minute, Arsenal were forced to defend their lead going into the closing stages of the game as the Cherries pushed for an equaliser.

Fans on reddit have now noticed a passage of play that could have been crucial in keeping the clean sheet and picking up the three points that could be vital at the end of the season.

With just four minutes of the game remaining, Chambers shows his defensive qualities by intercepting a long ball from Bournemouth in mid air before winning the loose ball by sliding ahead of the Cherries' attacker, coming out with the ball and passing it to a teammate.

After the game, Chambers spoke of his delight at keeping a clean sheet.

"As a defender it is always nice to keep a clean sheet," he said. "I think we deserved it – as a team we all worked hard defensively as well – and to grind out a 1-0 win is never easy so credit to everyone involved."
