If Arsenal are going to win the Premier League this season, then they are making the journey as exciting as possible and the players seem to be loving it just as much as the fans.
In a thrilling Premier League match, Arsenal secured a dramatic 3-2 comeback win against Bournemouth and VAR at the Emirates Stadium.
Bournemouth took an early lead with a goal from Billing just nine seconds into the game and added to their lead with a header from Senesi early in the second half.
However, Arsenal responded with a tap-in from Partey, a volley from White, and a stunning left-footed half-volley from substitute Nelson in stoppage time to secure a crucial victory.
The win re-established Arsenal’s five-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table and kept their hopes of winning the title alive.
