A brilliant first half strike from Bukayo Saka, followed by an excellent Thomas Partey finish early in the second half, capped off by Ethan Nwaneri’s first Premier League goal, gave Arsenal a well deserved 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
The Gunners dominated, the visitors didn’t have an effort on target, and with three points and a clean sheet, it was just what the doctor ordered as we resumed after the Interlull.
Here’s how the players rated this afternoon.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 17 year old look so nonchalant scoring their first pl goal. If this lad doesn’t end up being a star, I dunno man.
Also, did Forest even have a shot? What a delightfully drama free matchday.
Nope. Zero shots on Target by Forest.
It was a complete game of football by Arsenal today against a team in top form.
Boy plays the game like an Ainsley Maitland-Niles penalty.
Nah, the kids totally overrated. It took him a whole 4 minutes to score.
19 shots, 3 goals, Ethan scores his first and a clean sheet to boot. What’s not to like
Really great performance all round.
0 stars out of 10 for ‘the letter of the law’.
You were also pissed by the lack of 2nd yellow card for ever so slightly delaying the restart?
PGMOL trolling us. Fucking trolls
I hate myself for it, but I am coming around to that pov
Nice to See Partey get a good rating, he was great. Am I the only one to notice the lack of celebration on Parteys goal on the liveblog? Both of the other goals were GOOOOAAAL and then when TP thunderc@@ts one in from 30 yards to give us a crucial cushion it was just Goal. Partey. A bit strange to say the least. If I wasn’t watching I’d have been forgiven to think forest had equalised! Anyway great performance. All get 10s from me.
There’s a reason.
Which is? Or are you one of those who knows better and will serve judgment while watching the game on your sofa?
Care to enlighten me? I genuinely have no idea why.
My drama, wanting defeat for both teams of a game underway, how possible?
I’m not even focused one bit on other teams at the mo. We need to find our momentum and consistency.
If we can string 8 wins together, then I’ll start looking around to see what else is going on.
I said this before the Spuds game 👀 👀 👀
Even the ref couldn’t fuck over such a competent performance
To be fair he did try though.
Does anyone have a treatment for Nwaneri Over-exuberance Syndrome? I’m afraid I caught it today…
The warning label says that if it lasts more than 4 hours, consult a physician.
Perfect wkend. More of the same until May. And when are they going to extend Partey contract… He has been superb. It’s crazy that he will be out of contract at the end of the season.
Mo and saka were 10s for me. Poor Jesus, it just isn’t going to happen is it? Great effort so little result.
I rated MO a 10 even though it was not a 10 performance. But he is so good, changes the game so much for the better, he is such a pleasure to watch
The more I see Nwaneri, the more I can’t understand why we didn’t play him more. We’ve got a real gem here! And I’ve run out of superlatives for Saka and Odegaard, ridiculously good today.
Yep, came here to say the same thing but you beat me to it. He should have gotten more minutes when M.O. was out injured. Oh well…
Great performance today by the lads, we need to go on a long unbeaten run. The Scousers will drop points and we need to be on their heels.
Update:
Maddison be throwing darts around $hittidad !!
….. but you just know this is gonna end up spursy
Absolutely insane how inconsistent the Spuds are. Wonderful also.
I can’t tell if Saka realises how good he actually is, and if he’s anywhere near his ceiling yet. We all love his humble nature, but I wonder if he had that same arrogance, swagger and extreme self-confidence we saw from the likes of Thierry or Ronaldo, quite how far he could go.
First half was like watching early Emirates era Wenger ball again. Loads to enjoy, only one goal.
Very controlled performance today, 3 nil was flattering to them. Odegard proved that he is THE player for us, we look a completely different team now he is back.
The biggest result today was a change in attacking mentality. I”m not sure if it was the manager’s call or the return of Odegaard, but this is the way forward, please and thank you.
Can we please, please, please come up with another song for Nwaneri? The ‘he’s one of our own’ bullshit reminds me too much of that lot serenading that blimp-tongued piss pipe.
