Arsenal Bounce Back With Dominant Win Over Nottingham Forest

Arsenal reignited their Premier League title hopes with a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, earning their first win in five league matches.

The Gunners entered the game under pressure, having seen their form dip due to a grueling fixture schedule and injury setbacks.

They began the day nine points adrift of leaders Liverpool, but Mikel Arteta’s side delivered a dominant performance at Emirates Stadium.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the 15th minute, combining neatly with Martin Odegaard before weaving through two defenders and firing a stunning shot into the top corner.

Arsenal continued to control proceedings, and Thomas Partey, introduced as a half-time substitute, doubled the lead with a curling effort from 20 yards. Teenager Ethan Nwaneri sealed the win with a composed finish late in the game.

Nottingham Forest, one of the season’s surprise performers, came into the match level on points with Arsenal but struggled to make an impact.

Their best chances—a pair of tame headers from Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez—failed to trouble the Arsenal defence, as Forest finished without a shot on target.

Jurrien Timber thought he had given Arsenal an early lead, but his close-range effort was ruled out after Mikel Merino was judged offside in the buildup.

This match marked Arteta’s 250th game in charge of Arsenal across all competitions, and the Gunners will hope this convincing victory sparks a run of form to close the gap on their title rivals.
