Arsenal snatch late win to keep pressure on Man City as Man Utd held

Arsenal secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, keeping the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City. The Gunners' only shot on target came in the 80th minute from substitute Noni Madueke after a deflection off Jair Cunha. Manager Mikel Arteta praised his team's resilience, stating they had to manage their emotions and stay focused.

This win moved Arsenal to second place in the table, three points behind City, while Forest now find themselves in the relegation zone after failing to capitalize on late chances.

Earlier in the day, Manchester United drew 1-1 with Leeds at Elland Road. Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalized for United after Bryan Mbeumo scored for Leeds in the first half. United, who have only one win in seven league games this season and are winless in their past six matches across all competitions, remain winless at home this season.

Manager Michael Carrick, in his first full season in charge, focused on the positives, acknowledging the players' readiness but expressing concern over the team's lack of quality and confidence.
