"Martin Zubimendi scored his first Arsenal goal with a sensational volley to give Mikel Arteta's side a half-time advantage against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates. Ange Postecoglou was taking charge of his first game as Forest boss following Nuno Espirito Santo's departure last week, but the Europa League-winning former Tottenham boss' trip to his old club's north London rivals has so far been far from pleasant."
"Zubimendi fired the hosts into the lead on 32 minutes, meeting a clearance from a corner before letting fly with a volley that sailed into the top corner of the net via a slight deflection off Murillo. The fact that Forest's defence had been breached seemed hardly surprising. The Midlanders have now gone 12 consecutive league matches without a clean sheet - a problem Postecoglou's famously attacking, high-risk playing style may do little to address."
Martin Zubimendi scored his first Arsenal goal with a sensational volley on 32 minutes, giving Arsenal a 1-0 half-time lead via a slight deflection off Murillo. Ange Postecoglou took charge of his first game as Nottingham Forest boss following Nuno Espirito Santo's departure. Forest have now gone 12 consecutive league matches without a clean sheet, exposing potential issues with Postecoglou's attacking, high-risk style. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was forced off with a suspected shoulder injury. Mikel Merino had a close chance saved by keeper Matz Sels. Murillo hobbled off after the goal. Morgan Gibbs-White curled narrowly wide before half-time, and Noni Madueke caused consistent problems for full-back Morato.
