Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest: Gunners cruise as Nwaneri nets first Premier League goal

Arsenal ended their four-game winless run in the Premier League with 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with teenager Ethan Nwaneri scoring his first league goal.

Bukayo Saka, fresh from skipping international duty to recover from a knock, starred with an early opener and an assist for Thomas Partey’s second-half goal.

A brilliant solo run saw him cut three defenders before rifling the ball past Forest keeper Matz Sels.

Forest struggled to pose any real threat, with James Ward-Prowse’s free kicks their only source of hope.

Meanwhile, Arsenal’s captain Martin Odegaard controlled the midfield with a seamless return from injury, linking up with Saka and Trossard.
