Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, putting three without reply past a Forest side who, prior to kick-off, were level on points with the Gunners and only behind in the table on goal difference.
In truth it was never as close during the 90 minutes, with Jurrien Timber seeing a fourth-minute strike ruled out and the visitors barely laying a glove on Arsenal throughout thereafter. Bukayo Saka’s strike did count to give the hosts the lead in the opening quarter of an hour, with the same player then teeing up Thomas Partey’s long-range goal after half-time.
Ethan Nwaneri then came off the bench to net his first top-flight goal and give Arsenal a comfortable return to winning ways, following four straight matches in the league without victory. Follow the latest team news and all the live action below:
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest
Nwaneri picks up where Saka left off, it seems. He jinks inside Williams from the right and curls one just wide-left of Sels' goal!

Partey has another go from range... It's safe to say it's far from anything resembling his earlier goal. Well wide. Way too high.

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest
Arsenal queue up at the back post and in quite comical fashion, Saka's corner doesn't beat Yates at the near post... It's out for a corner on the other side. Trossard takes, yet it's cleared again.

Saka glides in from the right and fires with his left, however, Murillo blocks well and it's a corner on the right.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest
Forest win a free-kick, and yet again, it's a pleasant position for Ward-Prowse to deliver. However, Arsenal get a head on it and clear. Williams then picks out Yates from the right, but the captain's header is too high.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest
Moreno is off for Forest, as former Liverpool man Neco Williams is entrusted with the final exchanges. Can Forest soil Arsenal's so far clean sheet?

Jota Silva fires for Forest, but it's off his own player Wood!
