Laura Woods flabbergasted by "lucky" comment amid reaction to Arsenal comeback
Arsenal fans are probably still celebrating after their dramatic 3-2 victory against Bournemouth at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners recovered from two goals down thanks to strikes from Thomas Partey, Ben White and Reiss Nelson, with the final goal coming in the 97th minute. The result leaves Arsenal five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
A lot of reaction to that dramatic victory has followed, with Arsenal even winning a prestigious award more than 3,000 miles away. That aside, here are the latest headlines from the Emirates ahead of Thursday's Europa League tie against Sporting Lisbon.
Woods responds to "lucky" jibe
Laura Woods destroyed a Tottenham fan named Dan after he declared Arsenal are the "luckiest club" in the Premier League.

Nelson's new contract
Arteta wants to offer Nelson a new contract after his dramatic winner, with his existing deal set to expire at the end of the season.
Nelson, 23, wrote his name in the club's folklore by breaking Bournemouth hearts in dramatic fashion. The winger will be concerned about his lack of minutes under Arteta, though, as he's played just three Premier League games this season - scoring three goals.

Nelson is a graduate of Arsenal's Hale End academy, and Arteta was full of praise for him at full-time. The Gunners boss told reporters, "I always saw the potential. The talent and the desire for him to do it, but he’s at a different level right now."
On Nelson's lack of minutes, Arteta added, "It was my decision in the last two games not to play him because we had other options. But he was knocking on the door, he's been training really good and it's a good lesson for me and for the coaches that we need him."
