How Arsenal slipped past Nottingham Forest after Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey and Ethan Nwaneri goals

Nottingham Forest have been outclassed at Arsenal today.

Matz Sels made some good saves to keep the score down to 1-0 in the first half, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side unable to contain the brilliance of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.

The Belgian goalkeeper could have done little with any of the three goals as Arsenal picked Forest apart with their crisp, pressing passing. The home team did everything at pace and the visitors just couldn’t keep up.

Forest must take solace from the fact that this was their first Premier League away defeat of the season.

They started the day on points with their hosts. But that was not reflected on the pitch, where there was a gap in the class for long periods.
