Mikel Arteta explains what really happened with pitch-invading kid amid 'crazy' Arsenal scenes

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has explained the injury-time celebration scenes after his side secured a last-gasp winner to beat Bournemouth 3-2.

The Cherries took the lead at the Emirates Stadium in the opening ten seconds through Phillip Billing, who found the back of the net with the second-fastest goal in Premier League history. Marcos Senesi then doubled the visitors' lead in the second half before the north London outfit quickly rallied.

Midfielder Thomas Partey fired one back from close range before Ben White levelled things up with 20 minutes to go. Eventually, substitute Reiss Nelson found the winner, firing a stunning strike past Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto in the 97th minute to secure all three points for the home team.
