Arsenal fans across the country celebrated in unison as their team scored a late winner to pick up a vital three points against a struggling Bournemouth outfit.
While the majority of Arsenal fans were delighted with the late winner, others adopted a more cynical approach. They were concerned at their team’s overall performance, not to mention their defending, as Arsenal conceded two goals to a team in the relegation zone.
Several Gunners fans took to Twitter to express their opinions – let’s see what they had to say.
I’m crying real tears. Football man. This club is something else. Big LOVE all ARSENAL FANS.

People can make whatever they want because of result but lMO Arsenal were poor today. Bournemouth could have scored five or six.

Arsenal has been on fire this season! With our impressive gameplay and determination, we have proven to be a force to be reckoned with on the field.
From 2-0 down to an astonishing 3-2 win!!

I can’t sleep.The happiness is unreal. It’s as if I just won a lottery. We haven’t even won anything yet but the character of this Arsenal team just gives me joy. So much joy. It is not easy to be 2-0 down and 3-2 in the EPL especially when the VAR is against you. Wow. Just Epic

I have been an arsenal fan for over 18 years & I love my club but I’m also objective enough to say hard truth. Partey was poor before the 2nd goal. Infact, he caused the 2nd goal by lazily losing his man for the corner which Bournemouth scored. After that, he was excellent! Fact!

The general consensus was definitely one of elation. However, certain subsections of the Arsenal fanbase worry what may happen if their team continues to ship goals in the manner that they did against the Cherries – especially against more dangerous teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool.
Their defending certainly wasn’t up to its usual standard – the Gunners fell behind after just nine seconds. Additionally, Thomas Partey was singled out for his below-par first-half performance.
Nevertheless, Arsenal took all three points from the game against Bournemouth – they’re one step closer to claiming their first Premier League title since 2004. Can they pip Manchester City to the post?
