Arsenal attacker Reiss Nelson's last-gasp wondergoal to beat Bournemouth has been nominated for the Premier League's Goal of the Month for March.

The Gunners academy graduate's effort seven minutes into time added helped clinch three vital points after one of the most dramatic matches at the Emirates in its 17 year history. 

Nelson's late, late strike is one of eight goals up for the divisional award this time around - and your votes can help him claim the trophy.

Reiss has seven other contenders for the prize, including Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic's goals for Chelsea against Leicester City, while Patson Daka's goal for the Foxes in the same game is also included.

Cody Gakpo's second goal in Liverpool's 7-0 destruction of Manchester United is also recognised, as is Jack Harrison's curler for Leeds United against Brighton, Alexander Isak's instinctive volley during Newcastle United's win against Nottingham Forest, and Jonny's long-range lob for Wolves against Leeds last weekend.

As well as sealing a crucial victory, it has now been recognised by the Premier League who have made it a contender to be their best strike from the month.

Reiss came to our rescue in the final seconds of the clash against the Cherries, with the score locked at 2-2.

After a Martin Odegaard corner was cleared to the edge of the area, he controlled the ball on his chest, let it drop to his feet and unleashed a bullet of a shot with his left foot that flew into the top corner to send Emirates Stadium into unbridled joy.

You can vote for Reiss now, as well as select Buyako Saka or Leandro Trossard as Player of the Month, and Mikel Arteta as Manager of the Month.
