The FA are investigating Arsenal's celebrations after Reiss Nelson's last-gasp winner against Bournemouth on Saturday, football.london understands.
The north Londoners found themselves 1-0 down at the Emirates Stadium within the first ten seconds of their must-win match against the Cherries when Phillip Billing netted the second-fast goal in Premier League history following a well-worked kick-off routine from Gary O'Neil's side. The Gunners then gave themselves a mountain to climb when Marcos Senesi doubled the visitors' advantage from a corner in the 57th minute.
But Mikel Arteta's men showed their fight as Thomas Partey and Ben White scored to level the scoreline before substitute Nelson fired an incredible strike past Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto deep into injury time. Chaotic celebrations ensued from the players, coaching staff and fans, resulting in referee Chris Kavanagh reporting these celebrations to the FA, who will investigate before deciding whether or not Arsenal will face potential sanctions.

News of this left the Gunners faithful far from impressed, with some flocking to social media to criticise Kavanagh whilst others joked that the so-called celebration police had won. Here is what a select few on Twitter said.
@PLCPolice : "Quite right (police emoji)."
@XavThe7th : "Richard Keys won."
@rowedegaard : "Fining for last minute limbs and showing a bit of passion? Sad state of affairs."
@abrar_ahmed_10 : "At this rate we have to win the PL in order to pay off the fines we are accumulating."
@PhilAppz : "I can’t believe clubs get fined for celebrating happiness and joy for a goal. How do I get off this planet?"
@ArsecaI : "Getting fined for celebrating a last minute winner but Bruno Fernandes can get away with pushing referees"
@iAzxz : "When you love and enjoy the game and be passionate about it and react based on that, you get constantly punished. That’s never understood. This is football, and this is why football is invented, it’s for such moments and emotions."
@4TheArsenal_ : "No words. Bruno will no doubt get away with pushing the linesman though (bin emoji)."
