Mikel Arteta calls dramatic Arsenal comeback vs Bournemouth 'the loudest and the most emotional moment that we have lived together'

• Dramatic late winner against Bournemough
• Restored five-point lead in league
• 'Most emotional' moment since Arteta took charge

WHAT HAPPENED? Arsenal came from two goals down to win 3-2 in dramatic fashion thanks to a 97th minute goal from Reiss Nelson. The winger's last-minute strike restored Arsenal's five-point lead at the top of the Premier League and sparked jubilant celebrations among the Arsenal players and coaching staff.

WHAT THEY SAID: "It's probably the loudest and the most emotional moment that we have lived together," Arteta said after the game. "The journey that we've been on together and how the supporters and the players are gliding together. Adding into that moment, it's really special."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Gunners conceded just nine seconds into the game in a horrible start to the match before going further behind early in the second half. Goals from Thomas Partey and Ben White pulled them level before Nelson lashed home the winner to make it four straight wins in the Premier League.

"Winning four games in the Premier League is very difficult and we have done three in a week, which is even harder," Arteta added. "We have done it in various ways and that should generate more belief. Today a lot of things went against the team."
