Arsenal Storm Nottingham Forest 3-0 as Saka, Partey, and Nwaneri Find the Net

Arsenal secured a convincing 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and Ethan Nwaneri all finding the back of the net. This victory marked a significant milestone for the club, as they became only the second team in English top-flight history to reach 2,000 wins.

Saka Opens the Scoring

Saka opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a stunning strike, collecting a lofted Jorginho pass and finding Martin Odegaard, who played a clever pass back into the England man. Saka then surged past three defenders across the edge of the area before rifling the ball past Matz Sels.

The goal was Saka’s fifth of the season, and it marked a strong start to the match for Arsenal. The Gunners dominated possession in the early stages, with Saka and Odegaard causing problems for the Nottingham Forest defense.

Partey Doubles the Lead

Partey doubled Arsenal’s lead just six minutes after being introduced as a half-time substitute. Saka was again involved, picking up possession on the right and taking his time before finding Partey on the edge of the box. With acres of space around him, Partey took a touch before whipping a shot past Sels.

The goal was Partey’s second of the season, and it marked a strong impact from the substitute. Partey’s introduction added fresh legs and energy to the Arsenal midfield, and his goal helped to seal the win for the Gunners.

Nwaneri Seals the Win

Nwaneri sealed the win for Arsenal in the 85th minute, scoring his first Premier League goal. Raheem Sterling was the creator, getting down the right and cutting the ball back to the 17-year-old, who steered it pinpoint into the bottom corner.

The goal was a special moment for Nwaneri, who became the youngest player to score for Arsenal in the Premier League. Nwaneri’s goal capped off a strong performance from Arsenal, who dominated the match from start to finish.

Post-Match Reaction
