Arsenal’s new stars shine in dominant victory over Nottingham Forest
Arsenal secured a dominant 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, with Martin Zubimendi scoring twice, including a supreme volley, and Viktor Gyokeres adding another goal.
The match showcased strong performances from players like Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze, highlighting Arsenal's significant squad depth and seamless integration of new talent.
Manager Mikel Arteta praised Zubimendi's “incredible execution” and emphasised the necessity of a large, high-quality squad to manage the intense fixture schedule, citing Declan Rice's rare rest.
Despite Martin Odegaard leaving the field with a troublesome shoulder injury, Arsenal maintained their high performance level, with Ethan Nwaneri seamlessly stepping in.
New Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou, having only two days with the team, promised his distinctive 'Angeball' style would be evident by Wednesday, despite the heavy defeat.
