2. Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth

In a similar fashion to the Manchester United game, our 3-2 comeback victory against the Cherries makes the cut because of its context, rather than our performance in the game.

We found ourselves behind to a Philip Billing goal almost immediately, and then matters got even worse when the visitors doubled their lead in the second half.

However, the players then completed what is quite possibly one of the most dramatic comebacks I have seen with my own eyes. With the score locked at 2-2 in the 97th minute, Hale End academy graduate Reiss Nelson smashed the ball home from the edge of the box to send the Emirates into a frenzy.

Many of us will now look back on this game as a what-if moment, but at the time, this result felt truly magical.
