Arsenal’s Thomas Partey scored a remarkable equaliser by volleying home from six yards as the match took a dramatic turn.
Ben White brought Michael Arteta’s team back into the game before Nelson smashed home from 25 yards in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
Following the lead, Arsenal maintained their five-point advantage over Manchester City at the top of the English Premier League standings following the latter’s triumph. Had Arsenal lost, their lead would have been trimmed to two points.
