What former Arsenal stars Ian Wright and Paul Merson did when Reiss Nelson scored vs Bournemouth

Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson has been the recipient of plenty of praise in the past day as his late strike saw the Gunners earn all three points over Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium. The academy graduate underpinned everything the side has been over the past campaign, showing plenty of character after some tough setbacks.

The home side went a goal behind in the first nine seconds of the game, caught off guard as the Cherries picked the Gunners apart from kick-off, allowing Phillip Billing to open the scoring. That lead was doubled in the second half through Marcos Senesi, only adding to the challenge for the home side.

They responded almost immediately though as Thomas Partey and Ben White found the back of the net in a quickfire double for the side. A third goal seemed to be elusive to them right up until the final action of the game, deep into added time as Nelson's strike from the edge of the box nestled into the corner.
