“That’s two of the last three games Arsenal have won with the last kick of the game. You just get the chance this might be Arsenal’s time. You just have to find a way. Bournemouth will be sick but to Arsenal’s credit they kept going, their substitutions made a difference and the character to come back again was superb.

‘The atmosphere in that stadium is bouncing,’ said Shearer who netted 260 goals and bagged 64 assists in 441 appearances to remain Premier League’s all-time top scorer.

From Joe Rothwell’s corner, Marcos Senesi nodded a brilliant header past Aaron Ramsdale in goal as the visitors doubled theur lead at the Emirates stadium 57 minutes.
