Arsenal secured a thrilling Premier League win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday, relying on a late goal from Noni Madueke to edge out the visitors. The Gunners had struggled to create chances, failing to hit the target for 79 minutes. However, Declan Rice's missed opportunity seven minutes earlier opened the door for Madueke.
The former Chelsea winger, assisted by Declan Rice, delivered a deflected shot that bounced off Jair Cunha and into the net, securing the victory for Arsenal. Despite Forest's efforts, including a close call from Murillo and Liam Delap, they could not equalize. Madueke praised his teammates' grit and determination, describing the match as "tough" at Forest.
Arsenal's win keeps them one place and three points behind Manchester City in the domestic standings, with a perfect start of seven wins from seven games. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest remains at the bottom of the table, having lost three of their last four home matches without scoring a goal.
