Midway through the second half, substitute Noni Madueke scored a decisive goal for Arsenal, giving the defending champions a crucial 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. This was Arsenal's sixth Premier League win of the season, putting them second in the table, just three points behind leaders Manchester City. In the first half, both teams struggled to create chances, with no shots on target in either direction, marking only the second time this season that such a scoreless affair occurred.
