Nottingham Forest have been outclassed at Arsenal today.
Matz Sels made some good saves to keep the score down to 1-0 in the first half, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side unable to shackle the brilliance of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.
The Belgian keeper could have done little with any of the three goals, as Arsenal picked Forest apart with their crisp, urgent passing. The home side did everything with tempo and the visitors just could not keep up.
Forest must take solace from the fact that this was their first Premier League away defeat of the season.
They started the day level on points with their hosts. But that was not reflected on the pitch, where there was a gulf in class for long periods.
