Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has revealed a behind-the-scenes message exchange with teammate Antoine Semenyo following their side\u2019s crucial win over Arsenal.<\/p>\n
The result, which came two days ago, dealt a blow to Arsenal\u2019s title charge. The league leaders remain on 70 points and missed the chance to extend their lead to 73. Meanwhile, Manchester City sit on 64 points with a game in hand, keeping the title race wide open.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the match, Scott shared a personal moment that followed the final whistle. \u201cI texted Antoine afterwards. He was happy with us winning,\u201d he said, giving insight into the mood within the Bournemouth camp.<\/p>\n
Scott also addressed the ongoing title race. He acknowledged the challenge both title contenders present. \u201cObviously they\u2019re top of the league. Both are tough places to come. Man City away is always really hard,\u201d he said. Despite his connection with Semenyo, now at City, Scott avoided picking a clear favourite. \u201cWhoever wins it wins it,\u201d he added, suggesting both teams would deserve the title.<\/p>\n
The midfielder then revealed a personal detail that adds another layer to his performance. Scott admitted he grew up supporting Tottenham Hotspur. That made his impact against Arsenal even more meaningful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
