The FA are looking into Arsenal's celebrations after they beat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

The Gunners managed a 97th minute goal to clinch the three points and maintain their gap at the top of the table.

However, the celebrations were overzealous on viewing, with coaching staff and substitutes all going onto the field.

Per IFAB Laws of the Game: those in the technical area "must behave in a responsible manner" and "must remain within its confines except in special circumstances, e.g. a physiotherapist/doctor entering the field of play, with the referee's permission, to assess an injured player."

Now football.london states the English FA will assess the scenes and talk to match officials.

Any likely sanction would be a fine, with no more serious punishment expected.
