That’s four in a row - winning four games in a row in the Premier League is very difficult. He came to me straight away and told me he could not continue because he’d felt something when he was tracking back after the corner. how the supporters and the team are together, added to that moment we had today. The team still found a way to win the game and that’s really positive. Probably the loudest and the most emotional moment we have lived together. That’s why we made the decision to bring Reiss on. Today, thankfully we had enough time to win the game. We didn’t plan to throw him in so early in the game. When the game gets ugly, there’s a moment that you can lose momentum, you can start to hide and start to navigate through the game. We showed a lot of maturity and resilience to do that. It was great to see that from the team. It was an extraordinary day, a beautiful experience at the end.

The only time they fell behind was in those final seconds. “You just hope you can catch them cold, get up the pitch quickly. But Solanke’s role in this kick-off routine epitomises the intelligence, selflessness and relentless streak he has honed at Bournemouth. “The kick-off was prepared, but you don’t expect to score from it,” he said. But as Billing ventured further into Arsenal’s penalty area, Partey relinquished control of the Dane to Saliba. But he still managed to thread his cross in between the two Arsenal players who stood before him. What they lacked in numbers they made up for with perfect timing and anticipation. Bournemouth did not flood the box with numbers. Bournemouth started off by lining up four players on the left of the centre circle ahead of kick-off.

'I always saw Reiss's potential, the talent and the desire,' Arteta said after Arsenal recovered from a two-goal deficit to beat Bournemouth 3-2.

“You don’t expect to score from it, but we thought we could catch them with it and we did.” “It was something we thought of the day before yesterday maybe,” O’Neil said. “I always saw the potential, the talent and the desire for him to do it but he’s at a different level right now,” he said. Arteta described it as “probably the loudest and most emotional moment we have lived together.” “It was an extraordinary day and a beautiful experience at the end,” Arteta said. “We had done it in various ways and that should generate more belief.”
