Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed the reasoning behind his half-time substitution of Eberechi Eze during the 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. Eze, who made his first start of the season, was replaced by Noni Madueke, who ultimately scored the winning goal in the 80th minute. Arteta explained that he sought a different profile on the left-hand side, stating, "Because I wanted something else.
