Nelson steals it at the end.

Agony to ecstasy, dejection to delectation,  grief to glee, Throughout the course of thirty minutes, unbridled emotions emerged. We were besieged by our detractors, but the gunners began firing in all directions. We struggled until the bitter end to pull a rabbit out of the hat and save the dream. There has never been a better time to break the hearts of billions of people who are waiting for us to come apart, as we have once again fought and thrived in the face of adversity.

Ft: Arsenal 3 - 2 Bournemouth

Two down, starting player injured, core players benched, we were still UNFAZED. One of the game's most crucial talking points was how our seasoned players stood out. We have fielded the league's youngest team, with virtually few players over the age of 25. Our first two goals after falling behind by two were scored by our two most experienced players, and to top it off, they were their first goals in a long time. Our experienced players took control of the situation and did not let us down.

Although it was nice to have Emile back on the pitch it came at the cost of Trossard sustaining a knock. ESR assisted on our first goal, which Partey completed. Reiss Nelson's introduction changed the narrative; the guy who had his first impactful appearance against Forrest, scoring a double, also impacted the outcome of this match. Reiss played with serene confidence and was emitting an incomparable aura. His ball skills have vastly improved since last season, and he appears eager to prove himself.  Hale end does'nt disappoint.

He delivered an exquisite cross, which Ben White finished off to square things up, and in the final second of the game, when we had a corner, he aligned himself to fulfil every defensive midfielder's dream. The ball rebounded out to Reiss on the edge of the box, and he hammered it past the keeper for one of the most important three points of the season. Try to catch us right now.

To do what we did after going two down is nothing short of title material; Real Madrid did this frequently last season in the Champions League. We had no forwards and still scored three goals in the last thirty minutes. We have everything it takes to win the title, 12 more games to go, Liverpool and City away pending. We're getting closer to getting what we deserve; Liverpool just crushed Manchester United, but it shouldn't dampen our spirits; if we can grab three points at Anfield, we should be taking home number 14.

Bernd Leno is happy to host us again, so let's go and complete the double.

The drama isn't over yet; just wait till PGMOL calls us out for fielding 11 players against a 19th-placed side instead of fostering sportsmanship and awarding them with a point.
