Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys had no qualms about Arsenal's celebrations after beating AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.
Keys had taken aim at the Gunners for supposedly over-celebrating a win against Fulham in August. Six months on and a dramatic 3-2 defeat of Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium, courtesy of a 97th-minute Reiss Nelson goal, secured a vital three points for Mikel Arteta's side as the Premier League title race continued.
Cue bedlam inside the Emirates as the Gunners completed a remarkable turnaround after going behind nine seconds into the Bournemouth match and then two goals down three minutes before the hour mark. Thomas Partey, Ben White and Nelson were on the scoresheet for Arsenal as they kept the gap to Manchester City in second at fifth place.

Keys and fellow beIN SPORTS presenter Andy Gray discussed the game on the Qatari broadcaster and posed a question about the amount of time played in the game with only six added on. "I've no problem with this one because that's a dramatic way to win a football match, I would ask about the time of the goal as Bournemouth will with 97 minutes played," Keys said.
"Ninety-six minutes were shown, you can see that in the top corner, we are just approaching the 98th minute when Nelson unloaded that," Gray added. "I think Bournemouth will have reason to say where did you find that time," Keys responded.
"The referee will have a reason. It was a dramatic afternoon and this is developing, for me, into an Arsenal season and they keep passing every test that they have been set." "And they keep going at it, They keep winning late and dramatically," Gray said.
"Not only here but at Aston Villa recently, winning stuffily and not great against Leicester City. "They are answering the questions right now and I said to you when it gets to the last ten games can they hold their nerve?"
