Arsenal vs Bournemouth highlights: Reiss Nelson scores dramatic winner in title-defining victory

Welcome to live build-up, coverage and reaction to Arsenal’s match with Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal have the chance to respond to their title rivals lunchtime clash with Manchester City, who take on Newcastle after their Carabao Cup final disappointment.

Mikel Arteta has a new injury worry ahead of the game, however, with Eddie Nketiah’s ankle issue forcing him to limp off against Everton at full-time. Leandro Trossard is expected to maintain his starting spot and try to get his name on the scoresheet for the first time since the draw with Brentford.



Thomas Partey and Jorginho are both available for Mikel Arteta and he will need to choose who to start after both played a half in midweek. The Gunners get their Europa League ambitions back underway in the week and so significant rotation may wait until then.


Bournemouth, meanwhile, are on a dreadful run of form with Arsenal looking to take advantage. A repeat of the 3-0 win at the Vitality Stadium at the start of the season would be welcomed.

Kaya Kaynak and Tom Canton will be bringing you live coverage from the Emirates Stadium before, during and after the game.

Wow, wow, wow!! What an ending for Reiss Nelson, but aside from the goal he more than grabbed his chance today with a superb cameo. Same can't be said of Emile Smith Rowe, but time to focus on the positives today.

FULL-TIME! IT'S THERE!

I cannot believe what I have just witnessed.
