Arsenal secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in their Premier League clash today, with standout performances from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and Ethan Nwaneri.
The dominant win saw the Gunners climb to 4th place in the Premier League standings with 22 points.
The match, played at the Emirates Stadium, was a one-sided affair from the start, as Arsenal controlled possession and tempo throughout the game.
The opening goal came in the 15th minute when Bukayo Saka latched onto a perfectly timed pass from Martin Ødegaard. Saka slotted the ball past Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner, putting the Gunners in the lead early on.
Arsenal continued to press forward, and their dominance paid off again in the 52nd minute.
Thomas Partey doubled their advantage with a stunning strike from outside the box. The goal came after Saka provided a brilliant assist, sending a well-placed cross into Partey’s path.
The Ghanaian midfielder unleashed a powerful shot that beat Turner and found the back of the net, making it 2-0.
The final goal of the match came in the 75th minute, courtesy of 16-year-old Ethan Nwaneri, who sealed the victory with a clinical finish.
Raheem Sterling, who had been a constant threat on the left wing, provided the assist, threading a pass through to Nwaneri, who finished confidently to make it 3-0.
Despite a few attempts from Nottingham Forest, Arsenal’s defence, led by Gabriel and William Saliba, held firm and ensured that Forest never seriously threatened the scoreline.
With this impressive win, Arsenal have now accumulated 22 points and climbed to 4th in the Premier League table.
The Gunners will look to build on this momentum as they continue their campaign, while Nottingham Forest will be left to regroup after a disappointing performance.
Arsenal’s next fixture will see them travel to face West Ham United, while Forest will aim to bounce back at home against Ipswich Town.
