Ian Wright exclaimed his love for Reiss Nelson after the Arsenal substitute netted a 97th-minute winner to seal a dramatic comeback against Bournemouth. Mikel Arteta's team had looked set to drop points in the Premier League title race after Bournemouth stunned the Emirates with a two-goal lead, which included the second fastest goal in Premier League history. However, Arsenal responded with two of their own, courtesy of Thomas Partey and Ben White, to level the score. Despite the comeback, a draw would have still been a disappointing result for the Gunners, but Nelson scored virtually the last kick of the game to send the stadium wild. Wright was captured in the buildup to the goal, expressing his excitement at what could be a significant moment in the Premier League title race. He captioned his post with: "REISS!!!!!!!! THIS TEAM!!!!!! ⤵︧⤵︧⤵︧". Gary Lineker also shared a tweet, saying "You’ll never guess who scored in the very last seconds. 🐰🐰". The win puts Arsenal five points ahead of defending champions Manchester City and 14 in front of Manchester United, who have two games in hand. Arteta praised his side for "never giving up" despite being two goals down at one point, to which Nelson added: "When the ball came out to me I was thinking 'please give me one chance'. I'm buzzing, really happy." They now face Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League on Thursday before taking on London rivals Fulham in the Premier League next weekend.
