‘They never gave up’ – Mikel Arteta bursting with pride after Arsenal’s ‘mad’ Bournemouth comeback
Mikel Arteta expressed pride in his Arsenal players after they came back from two goals down to beat Bournemouth in a 3-2 thriller he described as “mad”. The Premier League leaders went behind after just nine seconds and their task became even harder when Bournemouth doubled their lead with little more than half an hour left. Ad However, the Gunners launched a thrilling comeback as Thomas Partey and Ben White netted in the space of eight minutes, before substitute Reiss Nelson guided home the winner through a crowded box deep into injury time.
