Arsenal scored three times in 20 minutes to wipe out a 3-0 deficit and claim a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday.
Bournemouth had made a high-tempo start after Charlie Daniels’ opener, and soon made it 2-0 when Callum Wilson converted a penalty after Granit Xhaka’s push on Ryan Fraser.
The Gunners’ chances seemed slim when Fraser added a third before the hour mark after taking advantage of a slip by Hector Bellerin.
But the comeback started with 20 minutes to play when Olivier Giroud flicked on a cross and Alexis Sanchez dived to head home at the far post.
Arsenal’s second came five minuets later when substitute Lucas Perez buried a superb volley to set up a thrilling finish.
Dan Gosling could have wrapped things up for Bournemouth with eight minutes left, curling wide of the post after making room for himself inside the area — and within moments the hosts were down to 10 men when captain Simon Francis clattered into Aaron Ramsey and was shown a straight red card.
Arsenal completed their incredible comeback in the first minute of six added on when Giroud rose at the far post to guide a header past Artur Boruc.
