Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher has admitted that he celebrated when Arsenal scored their last-gasp winner against Bournemouth on Saturday.
The north London outfit completed a stunning comeback against the Cherries, who went 2-0 up at the Emirates Stadium with just over half an hour to go. Goals from Thomas Partey and Ben White set up a thrilling finale before substitute Reiss Nelson netted a stunning weak-footed strike past Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto in the 97th minute, sending the home crowd into a state of ecstasy.
That result leaves the Gunners five points clear at the top of the Premier League table with just 12 minutes to go and Carragher has now revealed that he was thrilled when he heard of Nelson's goal. "I was in the car, and I was celebrating," he said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

He added: "Go for it, embrace it. That will be one of those moments that... if Arsenal go on and win the league, that moment will be remembered forever and he [Nelson] will be an Arsenal legend for that moment. There's always huge moments.
"You talk about is it a good thing or a bad thing - who's still famous for Manchester United winning the first Premier League title? Steve Bruce, those two goals against Sheffield Wednesday, Brian Kidd on the pitch, Alex Ferguson.
"They're still shown out as legendary moments. That moment will be remembered forever and we'll be watching it back in years to come if Arsenal can go on and win this title."
