Arsenal commenced their fresh English Premier League season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium in London on Saturday.
Following their impressive triumph in the FA Community Shield against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium the previous Sunday, the Gunners sought to extend their success by securing another win against Nottingham Forest and building upon their remarkable achievements.
As anticipated, the team under the guidance of Mikel Arteta launched strongly, netting their initial goal in the 26th minute through Eddie Nketiah’s left-footed strike that eluded Nottingham Forest’s goalkeeper, propelling the North Londoners into a well-deserved lead. In a matter of minutes, Bukayo Saka added a second goal for the Gunners with his left-footed shot, further solidifying their advantage. However, Nottingham Forest’s second-half substitute, Taiwo Awoniyi, managed to score a consolation goal for the visiting team.
