Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits Reiss Nelson sent him the ultimate message with his goal against Bournemouth.

Nelson hit a 97th minute screamer for victory over the Cherries.

Arteta said: "I always saw the potential, the talent and the desire for him to do it but I think he's at a different level right now.

"I think emotionally, the experiences he's had has helped him. Football-wise, it was my decision not to put him in the squad in the last two games because we had other options. But he's knocking on the door.

"He's been training really well and it's a good lesson for me and the coaches that we need him and that he can really be important in the team."
