When Alex Scott scored Bournemouth’s winner against Arsenal at the weekend, it was one of the biggest goals of the 22-year-old’s career so far. As well as keeping the Cherries’ European hopes alive, the 74th-minute strike at the Emirates Stadium could end up playing a huge role in the title race, as Arsenal soon saw their lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League cup to just six points, with the two sides set to meet this weekend at the Etihad Stadium. But there was more to the goal than this, as not only did his strike help out his former Bournemouth team-mate Antoine Semenyo, but Scott also grew up a Tottenham fan, making his winner even sweeter.

The package also includes half/full-time refreshments and an official programme. Scott and Semenyo were team-mates at the Vitality Stadium until the attacker left for Manchester City in the January transfer window and the England under-21 international was quick to message his old pal in the aftermath of the goal. "Obviously they're [Arsenal] top of the league, both are tough places to come, Man City away is always a really hard game, whoever wins it wins it, ” Scott said following Bournemouth’s 2-1 victory.

"Antoine's now at Man City, so I'm hoping for Antoine but Arsenal have been brilliant all year, so whoever wins it, they will thoroughly deserve it. "I texted him afterwards and obviously he's really happy with us winning. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. "We're all still really good friends, he's one of my best mates in football, so he was always going to text me after that one. Obviously I'm really happy with the goal and obviously the win as well. "The table says they're the best team in the league at the moment, so to come here and win like that is a big statement. Hopefully we can kick on from that now. " The win saw the Cherries move up to 11th place in the Premier League table on 45 points, just two shy of seventh-place Brentford who occupy what is currently the final European spot.

And while Scott’s boyhood team Tottenham are battling for their Premier League lives, the fact that he was able to net such a cricual goal against their north London rivals clearly meant a lot to him. "Yes, I support Tottenham, ” he continued, “Though that doesn't have much to do with today. But growing up as a kid, it was definitely a dream for me [to score against Arsenal]. “Bournemouth are my team at the minute but I was a Tottenham fan growing up, so as a kid growing up, I would have been really happy with that.
