Arsenal produce special comeback as Reiss Nelson nets 97th-minute winner - 5 talking points

Arsenal fought back against Bournemouth to claim all three point at the Emirates with the latest of late shows.

Reiss Nelson's strike, deep into injury time, sent the Emirates in raptures on an afternoon that could prove defining in the title race. The Cherries scored the second fast goal in the competition's history when Philip Billing finished within ten seconds. The Gunners, who had seen Manchester City win just hours earlier, failed to make their pressure count before half-time and then fell two goals behind before the hour mark.

Marcos Senesi headed home in front of Bournemouth's travelling faithful before Thomas Partey cut the deficit just minutes later. Ben White rounded off the comeback to set up a grandstand final 20 minutes. The hosts had all the momentum but couldn't find the decisive fifth goal, even with a mammoth six minutes of added time.
