Hot battle for the title in the Premier League – Arsenal and Manchester City are separated by 5 points

The team coached by Mikel Arteta didn’t even know what hit them.

The visitors opened the scoring just 11 seconds later thanks to Philip Billing. This is the second fastest goal in Premier League history.

Despite Arsenal missing numerous chances to equalise, Bournemouth led 1-0 at half-time.

The second half started just as poorly for the Gunners, who also scored a second goal. Argentinian Marcos Senesi doubled the visitors’ lead in the 57th minute from Rothwell’s pass.

Arsenal got back into the game 5 minutes later when Thomas Partey reduced the deficit.

The Premier League leaders continued to push and Ben White equalized for Mikel Arteta’s side in the 70th minute.

The home side kept their hopes alive and in the 7th minute of added time Reiss Nelson scored a superb goal as Arsenal took all 3 points.

The final score is 3-2 and Arsenal are just 5 points clear of last season’s champions Manchester City.
