Mikel Arteta hailed an “extraordinary day” in Arsenal’s charge towards the title and said their remarkable last-ditch victory over Bournemouth will strengthen their belief going into the last 12 games.
Arsenal remain five points clear of Manchester City after Reiss Nelson’s spectacular winner, which came in the 97th minute and had seemed improbable when the visitors took a two-goal lead. The scenes of celebration around the Emirates Stadium were as jubilant as at any point in its history and it felt a pivotal moment in the campaign.
