Nelson up for PL Gamechanger of the Season award

Reiss Nelson has been nominated for the Premier League Gamechanger of the Season award, thanks to his brilliant last-gasp strike against Bournemouth in March.

The award is presented to the individual with the single most match-transforming performance over the course of the campaign, and Reiss is a strong contender for the prize for his display during our game against the Cherries.

We found ourselves 2-0 down before Ben White pulled a goal back, and that prompted Mikel Arteta to introduce the winger on 69 minutes. Within a minute, he had helped to pull us level when his centre was converted by Thomas Partey, but it would take until the 97th minute for his biggest impact to come.
