Arsenal star Martin Odegaard has taken to social media following his side's 3-2 win over Bournemouth - and revealed what he did after the full time whistle.

Although he was not involved in any goal contribution during the comeback from 2-0 down, Odegaard did take the corners that led to Arsenal's first and third goals at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners conceded their two goals in 52 minutes against their relegation-threatened visitors, with Phillip Billing netting after just nine seconds of action.

Marcos Senesi made it two in the early stage of the second half from a corner, leaving Arsenal with a mountain to climb.

But climb it they did, with Thomas Partey's close range finish on 62 minutes sparking what would turn out to be a memorable comeback.

Ben White's strike on 70 minutes levelled the scoring, before Reiss Nelson blasted the ball into the bottom corner on his left foot with the last kick of the game to secure the three points.

His goal sparked wild scenes inside the Emirates, with both players and coaching staff celebrating what could prove to be a pivotal moment in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners restored their five-point advantage at the top of the table with the win, after Manchester City defeated Newcastle 2-0 earlier on Saturday.

Taking to Instagram, the Arsenal captain had a short message for Gunners fans after the win. Posting a picture of himself celebrating, he wrote: "This is the Arsenal!"

On his Instagram story, the Norwegian re-posted an image showing him giving his match-worn shirt to a young fan in the Emirates crowd.

It was certainly a day that will live long in the memory of the Gunners squad - and they will look to carry on their winning form for the remainder of the season.

Speaking after the game, boss Mikel Arteta said: "The team and individuals showed a different willingness to win, determination and initiative today.

"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.

"The players didn't do that. They wanted the game, they wanted the ball every time, they took risks, they took initiative and kept trying until we broke them down. It was great to see that from the team."
