Arsenal got their title challenge back on track as they beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the Emirate stadium. British Nigerian Ethan Nwaneri was on target in the game as he scored the third round up the scoring.
Ethan Nwaneri Scores for Arsenal in their 3-0 Win Over Forest
Arsenal’s form has dipped in recent weeks amid a tough fixture schedule and a number of injuries. They were nine points behind leaders Liverpool before the start of the game and they needed the win.
Gunners dominated from the outset at Emirates Stadium and Bukayo Saka gave them the lead just 15 minutes after kick-off. The player exchanged pass with Martin Odegaard before beating two defenders and slamming a strike into the top corner.
Ghanaian star Thomas Partey, who came on as a half-time substitute, doubled the lead when he curled in from 20 yards. British Nigerian youngster Ethan Nwaneri then added a third late on to secure the win.
Forest have been the surprise package of the season so far and came into this match with the same number of points (19) as the Gunners. But it was different this time around as they struggled to get a foothold in the game.
They could not muster a shot on target with tame headers from Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez which was their best opportunities. This match was Arteta’s 250th in charge of Arsenal in all competitions – and he will hope victory sparks a run of form that will help his side close the gap on their rivals at the top.
