Arsenal ended their four-game Premier League winless run with a dominant 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates, marking Mikel Arteta’s 250th match in charge.
The win also saw the club reach a milestone 2,000 top-flight victories.
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a brilliant strike set up by Martin Ødegaard.
Despite several missed opportunities to extend their lead, Arsenal went into the break with a one-goal advantage.
A second-half substitution proved pivotal as Thomas Partey replaced Jorginho and immediately made an impact, scoring a stunning 25-yard strike in the 52nd minute, assisted by Saka.
With the game nearing its end, 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri capped off the performance, scoring in added time to become Arsenal’s second-youngest Premier League goalscorer in history, just behind Cesc Fàbregas.
The win moves Arsenal six points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, while Forest, who have now lost two consecutive matches, drop to sixth place behind Brighton & Hove Albion.
Although Arsenal didn’t move up the table, the victory provides a much-needed confidence boost and ends a frustrating run of form.
