Arsenal End Winless Streak with a Dominant victory over ...
Arsenal returned to winning ways in the Premier League after 49 days, defeating Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard led a much-improved performance from a team that had gone four matches without a league victory.
The match began with a brilliant solo effort from Saka, who opened the scoring in the first half. Cutting in from the right flank, he unleashed a stunning strike into the far corner, showcasing why he remains one of the Premier League’s standout players. The goal also highlighted the benefit of the rest he received during the international break.
Despite squandering several chances in the first half, Arsenal doubled their lead early in the second through Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian midfielder capitalized on space created by Ødegaard and fired a thunderous long-range shot into the net, sealing the game and easing the tension at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta used the final minutes to rest key players like Ødegaard and Saka, with an eye on their midweek Champions League clash against Sporting Lisbon. The young Ethan Nwaneri, just 17 years old, capped off the victory, demonstrating his immense potential.
With this win, Arsenal climbs to fourth place in the table with 22 points, tied with Chelsea and Brighton, and keeps their hopes of competing at the top alive. Arteta’s team knows it cannot afford further setbacks if they want to contend for the Premier League title.
