Things have been going wonderfully well for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side this season, and with nine games left of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign, the Gunners are still sitting pretty atop the English top-flight.
Moment of the season so far has to be the 97th minute winner from Reiss Nelson which saw Arsenal come back from 2-0 down against Bournemouth to win 3-2.
It was a strike fit to win any game, and one which sent the Emirates Stadium into total delirium.
With Manchester City still breathing down their necks in the race for the title, the importance of that goal can’t be understated either.
Nelson will rightly have lapped up the adulation at the time, and if those three points help Arsenal to the title, he can be proud of playing his part.
He’ll start next season facing a criminal trial, however, something that is likely to have brought him crashing back down to earth.
According to the Daily Mail, Nelson will on trial in September after his dog, Tiago, allegedly attacked a massage therapist, Saeid Motaali, in 2020, leaving him injured.
Although it would appear that Nelson has denied the allegation, to have this hanging over his head at a time when he could be about to celebrate one of the finest moments of his professional career isn’t the best turn of events.
For the time being, Arteta will surely hope that his player isn’t distracted by the issue and can still focus on getting the Gunners over the line.
A dog allegedly attacks a therapist in 2020 and it has taken this long to lodge criminal proceedings?
Looks like someone is after a payout..
Absolutely. This is insane
The therapist is after money 4 yrs later after the event
It is like the English people are joy killers a dog attack some one since 2020 til now the case have not been close and the person in question is living or it is Reiss Nelson sent the dog to attack the therapist?
Racist !
I am very much a “non-racist”, and do not even see why the term is being applied here! Thank God, racists are in the minority, and in football hopefully too. I love football, I am and have been a ‘gooner’ for many, many years. We have had some fantastic black players in our past, and the current team and academy youngsters today too, should be seen as no different.
why is 2 of the comments about racism ? What the hell has that got to do with this situation . If I was going by my asumptions I would of hazard a guess that it maybe a lovers tiff !!!

Stop being a Karen, Karen.
“why is 2 of the comments about racism ?”
After:
“It is like the English people”
Just cause it is English and not African doesn’t make it okay.
I really hope there’s no case there at all coz he never sent the dog let the man live his life eeeish
I don’t know why this case hasn’t been buried since 2020. Is the therapist up to something? May God let us win this league so that Nelson’s name will go down in this league history.
Arsenal here to win by 3 and Liverpool 2 for Sunday clash at 4:30pm.
