The Gunners found themselves down at the Emirates after only nine seconds, as Philip Billings scored the second-fastest goal in Premier League history. Marcos Sensei made it two in the 57h minute. Thomas Partey's 62nd minute goal started the comeback. Ben White scored his first goal for the club, converting from substitute Nelson's cross to restore parity.

The Gunners left it late for the winner, but Nelson found the back of the net in the 97th minute to hand Mikel Arteta's team all three points. Wright could be seen jumping up and down during the goal. He kept screaming, "I love you."

Reiss Nelson was spectacular since coming on as a substitute. His cameo was crucial in Arsenal earning all three points against Bournemouth. After the game, Nelson explained how some quick play helped him find the winner. The attacker said (via the Gunners' website):

“It dropped onto my right. I wanted to hit it with my laces on my right, but I saw the defender coming out, so I decided to shift it onto my left and then just had to hit through it, aim for the top bins - something like that! I’m just happy it went in - I’m delighted with it. I didn’t start the game, but I came on with the instructions just to play forward, try and get as many one-on-one opportunities as I can to create something, and I did.”

Nelson, 23, has suffered from injuries this season. Multiple thigh injuries have limited his appearances on the pitch. While the youngster has made only eight appearances for the Gunners this term, he has already bagged three goals and as many assists.
