Arsenal should not have had the opportunity to snatch a dramatic winner if the referee had not extended the allotted injury-time, Daily Post reports.

The Gunners appeared set to drop at least two points after Bournemouth stunned them at the Emirates Stadium by taking a 2-0 lead.

But Arsenal came back through Thomas Partey, Ben White and Reiss Nelson’s dramatic 97th-minute winner.

Sports broadcaster, Keys questioned why Arsenal had the opportunity to score in the 97th minute after only six minutes were added on for injury-time.

“I would ask about the time of the goal as 97 minutes had been played. I think Bournemouth will have reason to think, ‘where did you find that time?’ The referee will have a reason.

Andy Gray added: “There were six minutes added on, you can see that in the top corner, and we were just approaching the 98th minute when Reiss Nelson scored.”
