Arsenal Celebrations Against Bournemouth Could Result In FA Punishment

Arsenal's wild celebrations during Saturday's 3-2 win over Bournemouth could result in a punishment from the English Football Association.

Substitutes and members of Arsenal coaching staff ran onto the field at the Emirates Stadium after Reiss Nelson had scored a 97th-minute goal to put his side ahead.

This mass pitch invasion took place before the final whistle had been blown and it was later included in the referee's report, filed by Chris Kavanagh after the match.

Therefore, the FA will investigate the incident and likely punish Arsenal with a fine.

Arsenal's victory came in dramatic fashion after Bournemouth had led 2-0.

Thomas Partey began Arsenal's comeback with a goal in the 62nd minute.

Ben White then equalized eight minutes later.

Nelson's winner deep into stoppage time was his first goal since October.
