Match Recap

Noni Madueke waited until the 80th minute to settle this one, and that late strike was enough to send Arsenal above Nottingham Forest and further up the Premier League table. Arsenal arrive at the City Ground on a five-match unbeaten run and leave with a sixth, now sitting third on 15 points after four wins from five, while Forest slide to 18th with just one win all season and a stretch of defeats weighing on their form. The head-to-head leaned Forest's way before kickoff, level at one win apiece from their last two meetings, but Madueke's goal was the first thing to separate these two sides this time. Forest piled pressure on for long stretches without finding the breakthrough, and in the end a single moment of quality from Arsenal's substitute decided it. Erling Haaland remains the league's top scorer with 37, but on this occasion it was Madueke who made the difference where it mattered. Watch how the Arsenal winger ghosted into space in the 80th minute and buried the only goal of the game.
