Arsenal secured a late 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest on Sunday to remain three points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City. After failing to register a shot on target for either 70 or 79 minutes, the Gunners found a breakthrough in the 80th minute when Noni Madueke scored a deflected strike that went in after hitting Jair Cunha. The National UAE reported that Declan Rice provided the assist for Madueke after previously missing a significant chance.
Forest nearly equalized during stoppage time through a solo run by Murillo, though The Citizen noted his effort went wide. The National UAE added that Liam Delap was also denied a shot on goal by an Ezri Konsa tackle. Following the win, Madueke told Sky Sports that the team showed determination and a champion spirit.
In other Premier League action, Manchester United drew 1-1 at Leeds. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored to cancel out Bryan Mbeumo's first-half opener, leaving United with only one win in seven league games and a six-match winless run, according to The Citizen.
