"Mats Selz pulled off a stunning stop as Nottingham Forest held Premier League leaders Arsenal to a 0-0 draw at the City Ground. Buoyed by Manchester City's earlier defeat to Manchester United, Arsenal knew a victory on Saturday would take them nine points clear at the top. Instead, Mikel Arteta's team were frustrated by a rugged Forest display, with Sean Dyche's team helped by a fine display from their goalkeeper."
"Having failed to test Sels once in the first half, although Gabriel Martinelli did turn wide from close range, Arsenal forced the Forest shot-stopper into action three times after the break. The highlight was a superb save to parry away Bukayo Saka's header in the 65th minute, though Sels did also do well to keep out a deft Gabriel Jesus flick soon after."
Nottingham Forest held Arsenal to a 0-0 draw at the City Ground as goalkeeper Mats Sels produced key saves, including a 65th-minute parry from Bukayo Saka and a stop from a Gabriel Jesus flick. Arsenal needed a win to go nine points clear after Manchester City's defeat but were frustrated by a rugged Forest defensive approach under Sean Dyche and by Sels' performance. Arsenal registered 15 attempts but only three on target and produced 2.07 expected goals. VAR ruled Ola Aina's handball a natural action. Arsenal have now recorded consecutive 0-0 league draws for the first time since 2012.
