Fenerbahce 0-3 Nottingham Forest: Report, result and goals as Tricky Trees thrash Turkish giants

Nottingham Forest took a commanding step toward the Europa League last-16 with a 3-0 first-leg vwin over Fenerbahce in Istanbul, delivering a composed and clinical performance in Vitor Pereira's first match in charge. In a hostile atmosphere at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, Forest settled immediately and controlled possession from the opening minutes. Their early pressure forced Milan Skriniar into a booking for bringing down Callum Hudson-Odoi, and the visitors continued to probe, with Omari Hutchinson and Morgan Gibbs-White heavily involved between the lines.

Deadly deliveries and controlled chaos: how Arsenal became set-piece masters

Arsenal have scored 19 goals from corners in all competitions this season. Much of the credit for that goes to their primary corner takers, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. Taking corners from the left with his right foot, Rice has created eight goals, compared with five from Saka, who offers left-foot deliveries from the right. The vast majority of Arsenal's corners (81%) are in-swinging, and statistically more likely to lead to a goal than out-swinging deliveries.

Moi is an outstanding player, a world-class midfield player. I don't know how many headers he has scored in his career, but we are always a threat on set-plays. When you play against a low block, your pivot players can be higher up the pitch. He's scored a couple from outside the box this season and hopefully he can keep chipping in with goals to win us more games of football.

Defensive mistakes and no answers: Tactical analysis of Napoli 2-0 AC Milan

With Jashari playing as the deep-sitting midfield, he operated between the central centre-back and the left centre-back, allowing Tomori to push up as a quasi right-back to try and target Spinazzola. Napoli used a central overload with McTominay sitting back to create a 3+2 build-up structure. This drew Milan's front two and the midfield three, allowing space between Milan's front two lines and the last line of defence.
