DANNY MURPHY: There was bedlam in the BBC studio when Reiss Nelson netted his late winner for Arsenal... with Ian Wright only deciding to stay when Gary Lineker threatened to replace him with a cardboard cutout if he walked out at 2-0!

It was bedlam in the Match of the Day studios when Reiss Nelson scored Arsenal’s late winner. Everyone was jumping around, including me as an ex-Tottenham player. Sometimes the drama just takes you over, that’s why we love the game.

You can imagine what Ian Wright was like. When Bournemouth were leading 2-0, he threatened to walk out of the studio, only for Gary Lineker to suggest we’d use a cardboard cut-out instead.

Needless to say, Wrighty was happy he stayed. It was another example of Arsenal’s resilience after late winners against Aston Villa and Manchester United.
