"Noni Madueke produced a dazzling display as a Martin Zubimendi brace and Victor Gyokeres goal ensured a miserable first Nottingham Forest outing for new manager Ange Postecoglou at the Emirates. Zubimendi's first goal in Arsenal colours - a sublime first-half volley - set Mikel Arteta's side on their way to a comfortable afternoon that saw the Spaniard add to his tally following Gyokeres' goal just after the break."
"From a free-kick, the ball dropped to Mikel Merino, who bagged a hat-trick against Turkey in midweek, but the versatile Spaniard's effort drew a fine stop from Matz Sels in the Forest goal. Arteta was then dealt an early blow when captain Odegaard went down clutching his shoulder following an awkward tumble just 10 minutes in."
"Meeting a clearance from a corner, the Spanish midfielder hit a thumping volley which sailed past Sels into the top corner via a slight deflection off Murillo to give Arteta's side the advantage."
Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest comfortably at the Emirates as Noni Madueke starred and Martin Zubimendi scored a brace with Victor Gyokeres also on target. Odegaard suffered an early shoulder injury and was replaced by Ethan Nwaneri. Mikel Merino had a notable chance saved by Matz Sels and Jurrien Timber hit a header that deflected wide. Zubimendi opened the scoring with a sublime volley from a cleared corner and added another after Gyokeres' goal just after the break. Forest's defensive frailties were exposed repeatedly, leaving new manager Ange Postecoglou with a sobering debut.
