Ian Wright launched into wild celebrations on Saturday after Arsenal's dramatic 97th-minute winner against Bournemouth.<br /><br />Second-half substitute Reiss Nelson scored a spectacular half-volley with practically the last kick of the game, as Arsenal clung on to their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.<br /><br />It came after a dramatic match that saw the Cherries lead 2-0, their first goal was scored just nine seconds into the game, before eventually succumbing to an Arsenal side that has a knack for late goals.<br /><br />Nelson made a huge impact off the bench, as he also assisted Ben White's equalizer with a well-placed cross. <br /><br />In a video shared by Gary Lineker on Twitter, Wright jumps around in circles as he waves his arms around in jubilation at his former side's winner.<br /><br />He screams for a full 20 seconds and waves Lineker away when asked for a few words on the goal.<br /><br />The former striker's smile only ceases when someone jokes the strike is being checked for VAR, to which Wright replies 'no way!'<br /><br />His ecstasy at the final whistle came in sharp contrast to when Bournemouth led by two goals, at which point Sportsmail columnist Danny Murphy claims Wright threatened to walk out.<br /><br />There were other wild celebrations at the late goal, as even Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was caught up in the delirium.<br /><br /> ‘I started to run and didn’t know where I was running to,' he said. 'I saw a kid here next to me, then I ran into security. But just looking at the faces of everybody, the players and our supporters with those smiles, the joy in their eyes, it’s just great.<br /><br />‘It was an extraordinary day, a beautiful experience at the end. Very dramatic, but worth living it, because it was a great end.’<br /><br /> When asked if it was the best moment he had experienced at the Emirates, Arteta replied: ‘Probably yes, the loudest and the most emotional moment we’ve had together. The journey we’ve been on, and how the supporters and players are together.'<br /><br />It was the third time this season that Arsenal have scored a winning goal after the 90th minute, and the fourth time since the World Cup break that they have come back to win a match they were trailing. <br /><br />The Gunners will next be in action against Fulham next Sunday.
