Paul Merson almost fell out of his chair after Reiss Nelson grabbed a late dramatic winner for Arsenal.
The Gunners are still five points clear at the top of the Premier League after beating Bournemouth 3-2 in potentially the game of the season on Saturday afternoon.
With Manchester City comfortably winning against Newcastle earlier in the day, the pressure was on Mikel Arteta’s side to step up and deliver but it almost didn’t go to plan.

Conceding immediately after kick-off and then early in the second half, Arsenal looked destined to lose this game and their grip on the title.
But thanks to goals from Thomas Partey, Ben White and a last-minute screamer from Nelson, they avoided disaster.
Merson who was reporting on the game on Soccer Saturday, lost his head after the ball hit the back of the net.
