Arsenal delivered a commanding performance at the Emirates, defeating Nottingham Forest 3-0 and showcasing the impact of their summer signings. It marked their third consecutive Premier League home win—a feat they hadn’t achieved since August 2024.
New boss Ange Postecoglou, appointed during the international break, faced a tough debut as Forest struggled to adapt to his high-tempo philosophy. Arsenal controlled possession early, and while chances were limited in the first half, Martin Zubimendi broke the deadlock with a stunning volley—his first goal from outside the box in senior league football.
The second half began with a bang: Viktor Gyökeres, another summer arrival, doubled the lead within seconds, converting Eberechi Eze’s cross. Forest nearly responded through a deflected effort off Chris Wood, but David Raya tipped it onto the bar.
Zubimendi capped off the night with a late header, sealing a dominant win and earning Man of the Match honors. For Forest, it’s a second straight 3-0 defeat, leaving Postecoglou with work to do to halt the slide
