Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest means that they have now won 2,000 top-flight league games. Look back at the key moments from the Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium with our Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest stats page.
Arsenal became just the second team to reach 2,000 top-flight league wins in England following a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium.
Bukayo Saka was once again the star of the show, and it was the England international that opened the scoring on 15 minutes.
Saka exchanged passes with captain Martin Ødegaard before weaving his way past a couple of Nottingham Forest players and slamming the ball into the back of the net. It was the first time that the pair had combined for a Premier League goal since February.
Arsenal doubled their lead with a long-range strike via substitute Thomas Partey just seven minutes after he came on at half-time, before another sub capped off the scoring.
That third goal was scored by Ethan Nwaneri. His 86th-minute strike saw him become Arsenal’s second youngest Premier League goalscorer, behind only Cesc Fàbregas against Blackburn in August 2004 (17y 113d). Overall, he is the ninth youngest player to score in the Premier League.
