Alex Scott makes Tottenham admission after Arsenal winner and details text from Man City star

Alex Scott hit the winner for Bournemouth at Arsenal to deal the Gunners a major blow in the Premier League title race

Tottenham fan Alex Scott admitted he fulfilled a boyhood dream by netting Bournemouth's priceless winner at Arsenal on Saturday.

The Cherries playmaker also revealed he immediately text his good friend Antoine Semenyo after the game after doing his mate a big favour in the Premier League title race.

The 22-year-old said: "Antoine's now at Man City, so I'm happy for Antoine. Arsenal have been brilliant all year, so whoever wins the title, they will thoroughly deserve it.

"I texted him afterwards and obviously he's really happy with us winning. 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 keep on from that now."

Scott also received an array of other messages after delighting his Spurs-supporting family including his Tottenham-mad dad Noel. He makes no secret of the fact he's a Lilywhite, either.

The midfield technician continued: "Yes, I support Tottenham, 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.

"My dad's Tottenham, yes. A few of my friends were here today and they enjoyed the game as well. So, yes, it's nice to have everyone here today too."

Scott was named in Thomas Tuchel's England squad last November but did not make the cut for international friendlies against Uruguay and Japan in March.

While he's dreaming of clinching a place on the plane to North America, he's not putting too much pressure on himself, explaining: "Of course, it's a target, I think every player wants to play in the World Cup.

"Thomas called me before the last camp and just said: 'Look, this time you're not going to be in, we're going to have a look at a few other players' but I'll keep focusing on myself and keep playing as well as I can.

"Hopefully, I'll put myself in the best possible picture for the summer. To even be even in the conversations to possibly go is a huge honour for me.

"Of course, it would be a dream to play for my country and play at a World Cup but it's definitely not something I'm too focused on at the moment."
