Balogun awestruck by Zimbabwe-eligible winger's game-winning strike in Arsenal v Bournemouth

Folarin Balogun was awestruck by Reiss Nelson's  game-winning strike for Arsenal in their come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Zimbabwe-eligible winger made a big impact after coming off the bench to replace another Hale End Academy graduate Emile Smith-Rowe in the 69th minute and with Arsenal trailing by a goal.

Ghana star Thomas Partey, who was at fault for the second goal conceded by the Gunners, made amends within five minutes as he pulled one back in the 62nd minute.

Ben White, with his first goal in Arsenal colours, leveled matters in the 70th minute when he fired a shot over the line following a cross sent in by Nelson.

Just as it seemed the game would end in a draw, the Gunners number 24 had other ideas and blasted home a half-volley from a corner.

Balogun, who played alongside Nelson in Arsenal's development squad few seasons ago, was left impressed by the goal and took to social media to hail the Anglo-Zimbabwean winger.
