Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium, with Thomas Partey scoring a stunning second-half goal.
The match saw Arsenal take control early on, with Bukayo Saka putting them ahead in the 15th minute after Jurien Timber's goal in the 5th minute was ruled offside. The Gunners continued their dominance, and in the 60th minute, Partey extended their lead to 2-0 with a fantastic strike from outside the 18-yard box. Saka provided a soft pass to Partey, who unleashed a powerful 25-yard shot past goalkeeper Matz Sels, marking his first goal since August 2024.
Despite scoring infrequently, Partey has had a solid start to the season, contributing in various positions. He has filled in at right-back during William Saliba’s suspension, impressing with strong performances, particularly against Liverpool.
The victory was crucial for Arsenal, as it ended a run of three consecutive winless matches. The team had drawn 1-1 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and lost 1-0 to Inter Milan and Newcastle United in the UEFA Champions League and Premier League, respectively.
In addition to the three points, the win marked Arsenal's 2,000th top-flight victory, a significant milestone for the club. The win also lifted Mikel Arteta’s side to fourth in the Premier League standings after a series of disappointing results. Arsenal’s performance against Nottingham Forest was a much-needed boost as they aim to regain momentum in the league. The final goal of the match came in the 86th minute when Ethan Nwaneri made it 3-0, sealing the win for the Gunners.
