Arsenal's Reiss Nelson scores their third goal
Arsenal fans have slammed the news that the FA are investigating their celebrations after Reiss Nelson’s late winner against Bournemouth.
The Lowdown: Investigation
Nelson’s last-minute winner in the 3-2 victory over Bournemouth sparked wild celebrations from the home side as they came back from 2-0 down to get all three points.
They kept themselves five points clear at the top of the table, with Manchester City beating Newcastle United 2-0 in the earlier kick-off.
However, it has been reported that the FA are investigating those celebrations as Arsenal players and staff ran onto the pitch, with referee Chris Kavanagh noting it to the governing body.
The Latest: Arsenal fans fuming
Taking to Twitter after the update was shared, Arsenal fans voiced their fume over the decision to investigate their celebrations:
“This is getting embarrassing now, the FA and it’s officials clearly can’t cope with us doing well and us overcoming everything they throw our way.” – @SimplyScalvini
“This has got to be a wind up.” – @Hugojha23
“The agenda is real TBH.” – @taophyc_AFC
“This is madness.” – @kendrickmclare1
“They are corrupt. They’re issuing out fines because we hurt their feelings. It’s disgusting.” – @marco4549
“Incredible this. After 3 penalties not given. A goal awarded that should have been ruled out and loads of time wasting, the ref reports this.” – @TheCockneyTurk
The Verdict: Enjoy the moment!
The Gunners needed to enjoy the moment of Nelson’s shot hitting the back of the net, which was the difference between three points and just one.
The goal could be a vital moment in the title race, and one that they look back on if they win the Premier League.
We have to be careful not to take the emotional side of out of the game, and so the FA and Kavanagh need to apply a little bit of common sense here.
