Arsenal secured a narrow Premier League win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday, thanks to a last-minute strike from Noni Madueke. The Gunners had struggled to find the back of the net for most of the match, failing to register a shot on target for 79 minutes. However, Declan Rice's misplaced pass set up Madueke, who skillfully cut inside Daniel Munoz before finding the back of the net, despite the ball hitting Jair Cunha before going in.
Forest had opportunities to equalize, with Murillo's shot hitting the post and Liam Delap's attempt thwarted by Ezri Konsa's tackle. Madueke described the match as tough, praising the team's grit and determination. With Manchester City winning 3-2 against Ipswich Town, Arsenal now sit one place and three points behind City in the domestic standings. Forest, meanwhile, remain at the bottom of the table after their third consecutive defeat.
