Arsenal win by a comeback against Bournemouth.
After falling behind by two goals, Arsenal fought to defeat Bournemouth 3-2 in a wild match in north London on Saturday. Reiss Nelson scored the game-winning goal with a few seconds remaining.
Relegation-threatened Within nine seconds of play, Philip Billing of Bournemouth scored the second-fastest Premier League goal in league history. Despite Arsenal’s dominance, Marcos Senesi of the visitors made it 2-0 before the hour.
The Arsenal comeback started, though, and it might have been a turning point in the title battle.
Just after the hour mark, Thomas Partey poked a shot past Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto, and eight minutes later, replacement Ben White’s volley crossed the line despite Neto’s panicked dive.
In their battle against relegation, Bournemouth thought to have held on for a crucial point at the Emirates Stadium, but substitute Nelson’s spectacular goal seven minutes into stoppage time sealed a miraculous victory.
Arsenal’s five-point advantage over Manchester City was restored.
