1 in the first half, another 12 minutes into the second half. First, Arsenal fell behind with a 2-0 goal gap. That too at home against bottom-of-the-table FC Bournemouth. In the end, the Gunners regained consciousness and the host Arsenal left the field winning the match 3-2 with three goals in the last half hour.

When Arsenal took the field against Bournemouth, the result of the Man City match came in front of them. Pep Guardiola’s men left the field with a 2-0 win against Newcastle. This means, the points gap stands at just 2.

In such circumstances, Arsenal’s victory at home against FC Bournemouth, who were at the very bottom of the points table, was inevitable. And the difference between the team at the top of the table and the team at the very bottom is what the statistics tell. For this reason, Michael Arteta’s followers may have taken the match lightly.

But Bournemouth were going to prove once again that reality is not always the same. They got excited with the dream of victory by wrapping the ball in the net of the table topper Arsenal 2 times. But the Gunners took the lead of the match in the second half. As a result, they scored three goals in the second half and Arsenal was able to leave the field with a 3-2 margin.

As a result of this victory, the Gunners maintained a 5-point gap with Man City. After 26 matches, Arsenal’s points are 63 and Man City’s points are 58 after the same number of matches. Man U is in third place with 49 points from 24 matches.

After going 2-0 behind, Arsenal fans were terrified. Had they somehow lost to Bournemouth, then Arsenal’s assured title win would have been in jeopardy. Thomas Partey, Ben White and Rhys Nelson saved the Gunners from the spot.

Rhys Nelson scored the winning goal in the 7th minute of injury time to give Arsenal the victory.

Bournemouth stunned the hosts before the match started. Philip Billing of Bournemouth scored just 9.11 seconds after the start of the game.

Arsenal woke up after 5 minutes. Thomas Partey scored the first goal for Arsenal in the 62nd minute. Then Ben White equalized Arsenal in the 70th minute. The match was going to end with 2-2 goals. However, the referee extended the injury time a little. Although that was the sum total of wasted time in the entire match.

Nelson scored the winning goal for the Gunners in 90+7 minutes. Then the referee blew the final whistle and Arsenal were able to leave the field with a win.
