Mikel Arteta admitted that he did not know where he was in the ‘madness’ of Arsenal’s celebrations as Reiss Nelson’s 97th-minute winner sealed a dramatic fightback from 2-0 down against Bournemouth to maintain their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Arsenal had trailed after just 9.11 seconds thanks to Philip Billing, who scored the second-fastest goal in Premier League history to put the relegation-threatened visitors ahead.
Arteta’s side fell further behind in the second half when Marco Senesi powered in for 2-0, but goals from Thomas Partey, Ben White and Nelson turned the game on its head and sparked wild celebrations.
