Arsenal avoided a setback in their pursuit of the Premier League title by recovering from a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 against Bournemouth, thanks to a last-minute goal from Reiss Nelson. Bournemouth, fighting against relegation, scored the second-fastest goal in Premier League history just nine seconds in through Philip Billing. Despite Arsenal's dominance, the score became 2-0 after Marcos Senesi struck before the hour mark.
However, Arsenal mounted a comeback that could impact the title race, with Thomas Partey reducing the deficit by scoring against Neto shortly after the hour mark. Eight minutes later, substitute defender Ben White added the second goal, as Neto attempted to clear it but it crossed the line. With the fans at the Emirates Stadium buzzing and Bournemouth close to securing a draw, substitute Nelson unleashed a stunning shot in the seventh minute of stoppage time, leading Arsenal to a thrilling victory.
Arsenal regained a five-point lead over second-placed Manchester City, the defending champions, who also won today, bringing their total to 63 points from 26 matches.
