An Arsenal steward simply could not contain his excitement after Reiss Nelson netted a stunning last-gasp winner for the Gunners against Bournemouth.

Mikel Arteta’s men maintained their five point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table after coming back from two goals down to win 3-2 in a thrilling clash with strugglers Bournemouth at the Emirates.

City had earlier closed the gap at the top with a lunchtime win at home to top-four hopefuls Newcastle United.

And the league leaders got off to the worst possible start when a neat kick-off routine culminated in midfielder Philip Billing putting Gary O’Neil’s side ahead after just 9.11 seconds – the second-fastest goal in Premier League history.

The spirited Cherries doubled their lead shortly after the break through a Marcos Senesi header before goals from Thomas Partey and Ben White in the space of eight second-half minutes levelled things up.

Nelson then secured a huge three points for Arsenal when his left-footed strike found the back of the net in the 97th minute to send the home crowd into raptures.

And, for one of those watching on, the jubilation appeared all too much as footage soon appeared online of a steward leaping to his feet in joy, bounding over to a colleague before quickly returning to his original position.

The clip was immediately a hit with fans, with one Twitter user posting: “It’s like he went crazy and saw his boss and sat down again.”

Another added: “This is so beautiful man.”

While a third wrote: “I was a steward for 29 years and had to hold my delight for so many years on the track that all changed when I was on the East Upper Highbury and then Upper Tier 132 at the Ems. I would have gone nuts too. Well done that man.”

The Arsenal boss appeared to be in equally good spirits at the final whistle, hailing the final moments of the match as “beautiful”.

"It was an extraordinary day and a beautiful experience at the end," Arteta said. "Dramatic, but worth living it because there was the greatest end to it.

"Winning four games in the Premier League is very difficult and we have done three in a week, which is even harder. We had done it in various ways and that should generate more belief."

The Gunners now turn their attention to the Europa League when they travel to Portugal to taken on Sporting CP on Thursday evening.
