This Saturday a ball sent in by Dango Ouattara was slightly handled by Dominic Solanke and Billing finally finished the game beating Aaron Ramsdale. Arsenal didn’t have time to establish themselves and they were surprised by Gary O’Neil’s Bounemouth.

The first in the Premier had to come back and Bournemouth made them suffer. The ‘gunners’ had plenty of chances, like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, and had plenty of possession. But not only can they take advantage of them, despite the fact that the meeting is one of Mikel Arteta’s monologues, but they also Aaron Ramsdale, his goalkeeper, avoided the second with a great save.

In a counterattack led by Billing, Dango Ouattara fired over and Ramsdale made an impressive save.

Salvador turned out to be their goalkeeper for Arsenal in the said transfer and those from north London went about their business: attacking and attacking, trying to turn the game around. They have no goal against an opponent who knows how to defend their advantage and that he knows how to shut himself up well.

Already in the second half, another blow from Bournemouth to the leader of the Premier: Marcos Senesi made 0-2 on the scoreboard in 57′. The situation was getting more difficult for Arsenal, but then Thomas Partey and Ben White appeared to save Arteta’s team. Partey made it 1-2 after 62′ taking advantage of the ball from Emile Smith-Rowe and White, the 2-2 after Nelson’s play in the minute 70′. White came on after the break for Tomiyasu and Nelson, on 69′ for Smith-Rowe.

From then on, Arsenal kept trying to complete the comeback, without the third goal coming, so important for the top teams in the Premier. And, as football is epic on so many occasions, a left-footed kick from Nelson gave victory to Arteta’s side, who are dreaming of the Premier. The afternoon the youth player, who had injury problems, dreamed of: goal (his first scored this season) and assist.
