Thanks for following along. Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth: Gunners seal comeback through Reiss Nelson GEORGE BOND AT THE EMIRATES: Arsenal's title hopes were saved by a late turnaround win, sealed by Reiss Nelson's 97th minte winner at the Emirates over Bournemouth. Mail Online 17:00 FULL-TIME: Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth Champions in waiting? The Emirates certainly thinks so. Arsenal were 2-0 down after an hour and staring down the barrel. They reacted immediately to halve the deficit, before White equalised. Despite their best efforts, the game appeared to be petering out to a 2-2 draw that did little to help their title credentials. However, with the last kick of the game Nelson popped up with a brilliant strike to restore their five-point lead. What a noise at the Emirates. 16:57 GOAL: Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth WOW. Arsenal have scored with surely the last kick. It's Nelson. Total and utter carnage at the Emirates. That is an enormous, enormous moment in the title race. 16:56 90+6: Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Brilliant determination from Bournemouth ensures they win a goalkick and that could be that. Arsenal will hope for just one more opportunity. The six minutes added on are up. 16:54 90+3: Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Nelson has a shot from the edge of the area that Neto claims and collapses on to eat up a few more seconds. Not long left now. 16:52 90+2: Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Arsenal continue to come forward and have basically every outfield player in the Bournemouth half. It's entering now or never territory now for the hosts. 16:50 90': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Six minutes added on. Arsenal play another corner short but waste it, again. 16:48 87': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Arsenal again think they should have a penalty. Instead they win a corner, but that's wasteful play as Odegaard blasts over when the move required patience. Bournemouth have around two minutes of normal time plus whatever is added on to survive. 16:45 85': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Yellow card for Chris Mepham after a heavy challenge on Martinelli as Arsenal tried to break. 16:43 83': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Arsenal break again and Martinelli drives through the middle of the Bournemouth midfield. He is hacked at but continues to go. He finds Nelson on the edge of the box whose ball in falls to Saka but his effort is skewed wide. 16:41 81': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth No penalty. Arsenal will feel aggrieved about that one. Bournemouth just simply cannot get out at the moment. Change for the visitors as Ouattara departs for Christie. 16:40 79': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth The Gunners continue to flood forward and they think they should gave a penalty again for handball. That is definitely not a penalty. Odegaard stands over a corner which causes havoc in the Bournemouth area. Again, they think they should have another penalty for handball! Philip Billing handling this time. . . 16:37 77': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Arsenal corner after more good attacking play by Saka and Martinelli. They play it short to Vieira, whose effort is blasted over the bar. 16:35 75': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Martinelli almost grabs Arsenal's third! He is played in and shows electrifying pace to get beyond Stephens and Senesi. Off balance, he sends his effort high and wide. 16:34 74': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Arsenal hit the post! Saka gets in down the right again and puts it across. It strikes the arm of Stephens and almost goes in but comes back off the up right. 16:32 71': Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth What noise inside the Emirates now as Arsenal flood forward. Gabriel is up there now, and he is almost played in by Odegaard. There is seemingly only one winner now, but Bournemouth carry a threat on the break. Amid the chaos, O'Neil made a change there. Cook for Rothwell. 16:30 GOAL: Arsenal 2-2 Bournemouth Ben White. Arsenal have turned it around. The ball is played across by the substitute Nelson and White rushes onto it. Neto saves it but it had crossed the line. That's his first goal for the club and what a time to get it. 16:28 69': Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Smith-Rowe, who was introduced for Trossard in the first period, is replaced by fellow Hale End graduate Reiss Nelson. Around 20 minutes for him to make a significant impact in the title race. 16:27 66': Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Arsenal think they should have a penalty after a push on Martinelli. Definitely little doing. 16:25 65': Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth What a brilliant, brilliant game this is. Bournemouth almost grab a third almost immediately from their own kick off! Billing flicks the ball over for Solanke who takes a touch reminiscent of his youth team days before taking it seemingly too wide before firing an effort at goal which Ramsdale does superbly to get down to. There are more goals in this. 16:23 GOAL: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Thomas Partey scores for Arsenal to halve the deficit. Bournemouth fail to deal with a corner that comes in and Smith-Rowe heads it back into the danger area, with the Ghanian sneaking in round the back to put it beyond Neto. Game on. 16:22 62': Arsenal 0-2 Bournemouth That was almost the moment for Arsenal. Saka drives down the right and puts it across the area which Stephens hooks away and it almost ends up in his net. 16:21 60': Arsenal 0-2 Bournemouth Arsenal appeal for a penalty after Saka is brought down. Never, ever. They are toiling here and, for all their possession, do not look like creating one, let alone two, opportunities to score. Bournemouth have 9 players behind the ball. 16:19 58': Arsenal 0-2 Bournemouth There cannot have been many Bournemouth supporters who, even in their wildest dreams, thought this would happen today. Arsenal totally and utterly shell-shocked. Bournemouth, on chances created, deserve to be ahead. If you want to be champions, you simply have to beat Bournemouth. 16:17 GOAL: Arsenal 0-2 Bournemouth Wow. Senesi. What is happening at the Emirates? The corner is met brilliantly by Senesi who was lost by Partey. Terrible defending. 16:16 55': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth So nearly another opening for Martinelli, who tries to latch onto a ball over the top by Odegaard but Neto just gets to it. That was almost a very hairy moment for Bournemouth. A free-kick is then awarded to Bournemouth for a foul by Partey which causes havoc inside the Arsenal box. Stephens' reaction suggests he feels he should have scored. He didn't and Bournemouth win another corner. 16:14 54': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Wasteful from Martinelli who is played in down the right by Saka and shows brilliant pace to open up options for himself. He fails to use Odegaard to his left and instead shoots. Arteta puts his arms up in frustration with the Brazilian. 16:12 Elsewhere Wolves 0-0 Tottenham Chelsea 1-0 Leeds Brighton 2-0 West Ham Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace 16:11 52': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Bournemouth have a bit of respite in midfield after Semenyo receives the ball off Billing but he turns back to his own goal and Neto who boots the ball clear. Arsenal supporters ate growing frustrated at the goalkeeper's timewasting once again. 16:10 50': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Bournemouth clear the latest Arsenal corner but the hosts come again. They've made 450 passes to Bournemouth's 69 in the game so far. 16:08 48': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth The template for this half has been laid. Bournemouth have the door firmly shut, or so they hope, but Arsenal will be looking for just that one solitary crack. Saka is picking the ball up and attempting to run at the Cherries back line. The ball ricochets out to Odegaard on the right who drills a ball across and it's cleared for a corner. 16:06 46': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Big half for both sides, this. Arsenal have enjoyed the early knockings of it with the ball. Their possession is measured. But White gives it away, and Bournemouth try to break but Partey covers well. 16:05 46': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Ben White for Takehiro Tomiyasu the only change at the break as Arsenal get us back underway. 15:51 Half-time: Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Chris Kavanagh blows his whistle to signal half-time. Arsenal have work to do in the second half after Billing's goal after just 11 seconds. It was a great effort, too. Arsenal have lost Trossard to injury and might feel aggrieved to not have been awarded at least one spot kick. More of the same, O'Neil will be saying to his side. They could have added two or three more there. 15:48 45+1: Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Odegaard takes it and it's an appalling effort, sailing well over. The Arsenal crowd are growing frustrated with Neto's tardiness over goal-kicks. 15:47 45': Three minutes added on A half that began with Bournemouth stunning the hosts, will end with Arsenal camped in the visitors half. Odegaard and Partey stand over a free-kick in a central area, about 25 yards out from Neto's goal. 15:45 45': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth There are chances here for Bournemouth on the break. Solanke's touch lets him down again, when they have a man advantage. O'Neil will be furious. Arsenal have a corner on the right to seemingly close the half out. 15:43 42': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Arsenal try to be too clever with a corner that Bournemouth feel was wrongly awarded. It's played back to Vieira, who tries to chip one in. But that's meat and drink for teams down the bottom of the league table. Or indeed any side. 15:42 40': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Just five minutes to go until the break, and for all of their pressure, Arsenal haven't had a clear opening to equalise. Bournemouth have had two glorious opportunities to make it 2-0 and double their advantage, despite having about 15 per cent of the ball. Tomiyasu is played in behind but he air-kicks it out for a Cherries goal-kick. 15:40 38': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth That is another huge opening for Bournemouth. Solanke is in, it seems, but Saliba recovers well to get back and make a crucial intervention. Arsenal then break with speed and win a succession of corners. Bournemouth try to get clear but the waves of red shirts just comes again. 15:37 35': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth There are many ways to skin a cat and Arsenal are showing that with the variety in their attacking play. This will be some effort by Bournemouth if they manage to hold out here, such are the capabilities. They come again, through Smith-Rowe, who via a nice flick almost finds himself through on goal, but his touch is slightly off. 15:35 33': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth There's a VAR check here for a potential handball on Mepham, who appears to have handled it in the area. . . Check complete. No penalty. 15:32 30': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Bournemouth's issue when they do get the ball clear is that Gabriel and Saliba, in particular, are so swift onto Solanke that he has no time to hold it up and get others into play and runners beyond him. Odegaard is popping up everywhere for Arsenal as they look to navigate a way through what is looking quite a resolute defensive set up at present. 15:31 28': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Bournemouth are camped so deep, they're practically on their six-yard box. They are coming, and coming and coming a bit more, Arsenal. Wave after wave of attack. Odegaard has their latest effort, which is blocked. He had options to his left which he should have used. This is already exuding the feeling of a game that has 10 minutes to go. Arteta will be keen for it not to descend into that. 15:27 Elsewhere Every other game is currently 0-0, apart from Brighton - West Ham. The hosts lead 1-0 through Alexis Mac Allister's penalty. 15:26 26': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Arsenal have had 85. 6 per cent of the ball. An absolute joke. That said, the visitors have had the best two chances of the game - by far. They only scored with one. 15:25 24': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth The resultant free-kick sees Odegaard have an effort sail wide from about 30 yards. Never troubling Neto. Partey is carrying the ball well in midfield, with neither Billing nor Semenyo able to halt his movement. The Emirates remains loud. Faith will not be lost quite yet. 15:23 21': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Early substitution for Arsenal as Trossard is forced off with injury, as Smith-Rowe is introduced. That will not please Arteta. The Belgian has been crucial to their mini-resurgence following their mini-crisis last month. 15:21 20': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Oh my word, what a ridiculous save. Bournemouth break and have a three-on-Ramsdale. Billing is played in down the left, and he has Solanke and Ouattara coming in, but Ramsdale gets out at the feet of the winger to smother. Massive, massive moment in the game. 15:19 18': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth The free-kick is deep and Saliba meets it to try and head it back across goal but Bournemouth clear. Though, Arsenal come again and win a corner thanks to Saka getting in behind. The initial effort is poor, but Bournemouth give them another bite at the cherry. Bournemouth just cannot get out. 15:17 17': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Chris Mepham has just gone through Trossard. Arsenal have a free-kick in a dangerous area. This will be swung in for the likes of Saliba and Gabriel to meet. 15:15 13': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Trossard and Saka are both enjoying a lot of the ball, Billing and Solanke less so. It's all about patience for Arsenal now. The visitors have a bank of five and then a bank of four on the edge of their area. But Arsenal have been offered a warning of Bournemouth's capabilities and danger on the break, as Billing is nearly in again but Saliba and Ramsdale combine to rid the danger. 15:12 11': Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth Arsenal have had three attempts so far. Zinchenko the latest to have a crack. They have st
