Arsenal's shot at winning the Premier League title race will come down to many fine margins, with another going in their favour last weekend. In a five-goal thriller at the Emirates Stadium, a 97th minute strike from Reiss Nelson earned the Gunners all three points over Bournemouth as the crowd erupted at the sight of the goal.
Late goals, a deep squad and a touch of fortune will be needed for whichever side ends up on top by the end of May, with each week passing by giving the north London outfit a better chance at winning the title once again. The impressive feat of Nelson in the previous game certainly underlined all three going in the Gunners favour.
"I always saw the potential, the talent and the desire for him to do it, but he’s at a different level right now," Mikel Arteta said on the winger after the Bournemouth clash. "I think emotionally, the experiences that he had helped him. Football-wise, it was my decision in the last two games not to play him because we had other options. But he was knocking on the door, he’s been training really good and it’s a good lesson for me and for the coaches that we need him and that he can be really important for the team."
