Arsenal secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates, snapping their four-game Premier League winless streak.
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring with a brilliant curling finish in the 15th minute after linking up seamlessly with captain Martin Odegaard. Arsenal’s dominance continued as Thomas Partey doubled the lead early in the second half with a stunning 25-yard strike.
Teenager Ethan Nwaneri added the final touch, scoring his first Premier League goal late in the match. Mikel Arteta’s men controlled proceedings throughout, with Forest failing to register a shot on target.
Despite key players like Declan Rice and Gabriel Martinelli starting on the bench, Arsenal looked revitalized. Odegaard’s return to the lineup provided fluidity, while Saka’s relentless attacking runs caused havoc for the Forest defense.
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo lamented his side’s defensive frailties and lack of attacking precision, as Arsenal cruised to their milestone 2,000th English top-flight win.
The result boosts Arsenal’s confidence as they inch closer to Premier League leaders Liverpool. With a favorable fixture list ahead, the Gunners appear poised to reignite their title challenge.
Post-match, Arteta praised his team’s effort, highlighting the contributions of returning players and substitutes. Forest, however, faces mounting pressure to improve defensively, having conceded six goals in their last two games.
Arsenal’s next fixture promises further opportunities to build momentum as they aim to close the gap at the top.
