Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest on Sunday to remain second in the Premier League. Noni Madueke scored the winning goal ten minutes from full-time after picking up a pass from Declan Rice. The National UAE reports that Madueke cut inside Daniel Munoz and fired a shot that deflected off Jair Cunha and into the net.
