And the celebrations that followed the goal are now under being looked at, according to Football London.

Nelson’s thunderbolt sparked wild scenes at the Emirates, with players and staff running onto the pitch following the strike.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is not said to have entered the pitch.

However, it’s claimed referee Chris Kavanagh reported the celebrations to the FA.

Football London say it is currently unclear whether or not the Gunners will be sanctioned for the celebrations.

IFAB laws say those in the technical area “must behave in a responsible manner”.

Laws also they “must remain within its confines except in special circumstances, e.g. a physiotherapist/doctor entering the field of play, with the referee’s permission, to assess an injured player.”

However, Bournemouth manager Gary O’Neil did not take offence to the celebrations.

He said after the game: “They scored the goal, so they can celebrate however they like.”

The Cherries had initially taken the lead through Philip Billing just NINE SECONDS into the game.

Marcos Senesi added another, before Arsenal fought back through Thomas Partey and Ben White.

Nelson’s winner deep into injury time then caused bedlam at the Emirates and sent the Gunners five points clear at the top of the Premier League.
