….. Arsenal claims a thrilling 3-2 win against Bournemouth at home in their Premier League classic encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Arsenal came from 2-0 down to beat Bournemouth 3-2; Reiss Nelson scored 97 minutes after Thomas Partey and Ben White’s goals; Philip Billing opened the scoring after just nine seconds before Marcos Senesi doubled the lead after half-time.
A fantastic encounter at a noisy Emirates Stadium began with the Cherries taking the lead after just nine seconds, as a well-worked kick-off routine was finished by Philip Billing at the back post.
Mikel Arteta’s team dominated the possession and opportunities against the relegation-threatened side, holding 80 percent of the ball and mustering 30 shots on goal overall – but fell further behind Marco Senesi’s header from a corner.
But Arsenal’s young side was not to be discouraged as they leveled the game with two goals seven minutes after the hour mark. Both goals came from improbable sources as Partey tapped home at the back post from Emile Smith Rowe’s header before White finished Nelson’s cross.
And as Arsenal huffed and puffed for a winner, Nelson curled home with the last kick of the game to spark bedlam at the Emirates, with the Gunners’ five-point lead at the top of the table maintained.
