Arsenal told FA decision on goal celebrations following investigation after Bournemouth win

The Football Association (FA) have cleared Arsenal of any wrongdoing following the side's post-goal celebrations against Bournemouth last Saturday. The Gunners were under investigation after matchday referee Chris Kavanagh noted the reaction in his referee's report.

It came in the midst of a five-goal thriller in north London that may have swung the title picture once again. The Cherries took the lead just nine seconds into the game before doubling it in the second half, putting the home side under immense pressure to match rivals Manchester City's positive result against Newcastle earlier in the day.

Thomas Partey and Ben White struck back shortly after, but it took until the 97th minute for a final breakthrough to complete the comeback. Substitute Reiss Nelson received the ball in the box and hit a half-volley that evaded everyone and nestled into the back of the net.
