Mikel Arteta had to give pitch-invading child to security after dramatic Arsenal win

The Emirates was sent into raptures by Reiss Nelson's 97th minute strike, which sealed a 3-2 comeback win for Arsenal as they maintained their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Players, substitutes and coaches swarmed the field after the winner was fired in.

Arteta was set to get amongst it, but revealed he maintained composure to usher a child over the security staff amidst the wild celebrations in north London. It was yet another crucial moment in the title race with the Gunners developing a knack for coming from behind.
