....

Gyokeres have doubled the goal for Arsenal with a clinical finish on the first minute of the second half. Having two goals on clean sheet is a good start in the for Arsenal in the second half. Arsenal is in full control of the game and I believe that three points is certain for the host club.

Yea the goal from Gyokeres came actually behind 1 minute to the start of the second half, even from the unmatched performance of Nottingham Forest you' would just know that there was nothing stopping Arsenal keeping the lead. The EPL has no dull moment as every clubs striker is keen to having a place in the highest goals scorer's list

It's actually good to see Gyokeres performing in gear at this point in time in the premier League, the thing is that, haven been bought with such huge amount of money, a lot of eyes are gazing at him already, in no distant time, people will start being judgemental concerning his performance, so it's a good thing seeing him score and contributing to the wellbeing of the team. Am still looking forward to seeing how perfect the combination of Eberechi Eze will like look like on the Arsenal attacking force.

Arsenal won the game for 3-0 vs Nottm Forest.
The game is ended and the gunners are now in the top of the premier league, with 1 more played game.
Teams can overtake them especially Liverpool.
We need to wait tomorrow.

Nottm it will improbably do a good season like they incredibly did the past year.

[Adbitco]

Yeah, there's nothing to be expected from Nottingham Forest. New coach, new squad, and terrible result. They're basically a new team compared to their previous squad. It takes more time for them to build chemistry, team work and everything. It's hard to take positives from their gameplay against Arsenal.

Their first half was absolutely crap, and it's getting worsen with Murillo there. Second half is a bit better as they subbed in some players and focus on the possession in Arsenal's half. Ange has to dome something to save this club asap. They lost 3-0 to the Westham at home, and this time to Arsenal with same result away.

They would be finishing at the bottom half with this kind of performance. I'd like to blame Marianakis who sacked Nuno.

Nottingham Forest management will definitely learn the hard way. Nuno Espirito was sacked on the back of bad performance because he wasn't able to qualify the club to the champions league and that brought bad blood between him and the owner, at least that's what some of us saw and he was later sacked. Finally, they appointed Tottenham Hotspur formal coach of course to qualify them for the champions league come May, isn't that funny?

[YUriy1991]

the game is over and as you can see from the photo:



It was a complete massacre, without any major reaction from Nottingham Forest. I was already expecting this when I saw that they hired Ange Postecoglou. Nottingham Forest's management made a big mistake by firing the former coach and in his place hiring someone who completely failed at Tottenham in the Premier League for two seasons.

This choice by Nottingham Forest's management doesn't make sense. I don't know what the hell Nottingham Forest's management is thinking. It's not normal, but they will regret the choice they made over time. Today was the first defeat of many to come. I see Nottingham going down the same path as Tottenham last season.

It's too early to blame manager Ange Postecoglou. Postecoglou deserves greater moral support, given the club's goal of improving Nottingham Forest's Premier League standings this season.
Arsenal played well by rotating several key injured players. Mikel Arteta implemented a brilliant strategy by deploying Declan Rice as a super sub. Martín Zubimendi was in scintillating form, scoring two spectacular goals with a volley and a header, assisted by Leandro Trossard. Nottingham Forest failed to cope with the pressure. Arsenal played quite aggressively for 2 x 45 minutes, but Postecoglou still deserves the chance to manage Nottingham Forest, considering the club's long-term goals for this season, with the hope of winning the match against Burnley next week, even at away.

Nottingham Forest will live to regret this mistake that they did. A coach that was able to keep the team on the top six of the table, they have the zeal to sack such a coach. Why didn't they give him another chance this season. Instead, they brought Ange who was unable to perform better than Nuno Espirito last season. Nottingham Forest is on the road to the bottom of the table.

A super shot from outside the 18 yard box from Zubimendi gave Arsenal their first goal on the 32nd minutes of the first half. It was a big surprise and shock from their opponents. Madueke is in his best performance today as Arsenal is attacking more from his wing. The match is in its additional time of seven minutes.

Arsenal are proving their mettle. And it seems that the team has become even stronger after the international break. Arsenal were leading 1-0 at the end of the first half. In  the first half , we saw Arsenal's dominance. Although Arsenal's players had a total of 11 shots, Nottingham managed only 1 shot. At the beginning of the second half, arsenal got 2- 0 through a goal by Gyokeres. Nottingham Forest is not able to perform well in the second half either. I am sure that Arsenal will get 3 points in this match.

Let's say it's already a walk over match for Arsenal, from the statistics of the match one will know that it is a win match for Arsenal. I wasn't expecting any good play from Nottingham forest some weeks ago their coach was sacked due to the club poor play and from their performance the current coach will have a lot of work to do to avoid another sacked before the end of the season, it is an easy win for Arsenal at the Emirates stadium 3 points is a goal.

Zubimendi is in his super form and has scored two goals currently in this match. He hardly score but today the spirit of goal is with him. He scored the third goal for Arsenal with an easy header to seal up Arsenal victory. Arsenal moves to the first position on the table till when Liverpool play and win their own match.

Arsenal's performance today is quite impressive and Zubemendi outstanding although it is much anticipated by me and my greatest joy is that they won the first half which was in line with my selection. Nott. Forest is not a match for Arsenal with respect to their current form and Arsenal was at home too which places them at a double advantage so they performed in line with expectation. Congratulations to them as they move to the top of the table although it is awaiting Chelsea match today to know who stays top all through the night

The big man got his and that the reason they spent so much to get him to the Emirate, he didn’t do much in the match, but when the chance came he took it. He have proven to be clinical and that what arsenal needed in that front. It was a good game for Arsenal, they controlled and dominated the game so well, Noni making the arsenal fans forgetting about Saka today he cruise round the Nottingham forest defense.

Arsenal are now top of the league table waiting for both Chelsea and Liverpool to play. The premier league have been competitive so far and all teams are trying to pick point in this early stage of the season.

Nottm it will improbably do a good season like they incredibly did the past year.

As expected Arsenal got the sin against Nottingham Forest and while they may be quite solid as last season they are likely going to finish below 7th. For me, this is because the league is more competitive than last season and most top teams have started in a sense well but anything is still possible, this is football.

[LGD2Business]

Arsenal played very well. I didn't expect the match to go so smoothly. I thought Nottingham Forest might put up some resistance with their new manager Postecoglou. But Arsenal secured the three points with a strong performance that left no room for doubt. They opened the scoring with Zubimendi's rocket goal. I think Arsenal have become a rock-solid team. The new signings have settled in very well. It's too early to say now, but it's not hard to say they are one of the serious favorites for the title.

Unfortunately, this gonna be a bad season for Nottm Forest. It will be hard for them to see themselves way to the top with a new coach and new signings this season. Ange Postecoglou needs to be given time to rebuild the team, not to be in a hurry to sack him because of this season's poor performance.

For the record, Ange Postecoglou hasn't won against Arsenal before even when he was Tottenham coach. I wasn't expecting a miracle to happen this time for Ange Postecoglou to win at Arsenal with a new club

For me, this is because the league is more competitive than last season and most top teams have started in a sense well but anything is still possible, this is football.

The team that played well deserve the winning so arsenal deserve the winning, Nottingham forest as a team are not prepared yet, so they should plan well next time, if we can recall very well this is not the Nottingham forest of last season and if they had to even finish around 10th or let me say 12th, they have to go back home and make good preparation before coming for any match, seeing their play pattern, there is no way they will survive this season like this, Nottingham forest was a serious headache to big teams last season although that may be because of what you said that also season wasn't much competitive, they better get serious or end this season in a horrible position.

[ajanwalker]

In Postecoglou's debut, Nottingham lost 3-0 to Arsenal. Arsenal's first goal was a major error by Forest's defense. Corners aren't sent into the penalty area. If you kick the ball into the box, you score.

And that's exactly what happened. Zubimendi struck the ball so hard that it went into the goal.

Nottingham weren't productive at all. In the second half, Nottingham created a goal-scoring opportunity that hit the post.

Arsenal's defense made a major error in one position, and Nottingham nearly scored in the follow-up.

Arsenal secured the three points with three goals. Gyökeres scored another goal in that match and gradually began to establish himself as an Arsenal player.

Arsenal made my day and also making my ticket to show green. I am hoping to win today slip. Remaining two games in my bet slip which I am expecting Tottenham Hotspur to win West Ham United and Chelsea to win Brentford and once this remaining two games enter and I will be a lucky winner of the weekend games and if an of the remaining games loss and I becomes the potential loser of the weekend.

The main thing is the three points gotten by the Gunners, the players played really well to secure the victory for Arsenal, and the three goals were very interesting and has boost Arsenal’s chance of being in the title race because this game was a good game every coach will be proud of.

Arsenal now have the squad depth they lacked last two season, they now have a player to rely on in every position of one get injured; Saka was injured and Madueke is plying his position really well; Odegard was early substituted due to injury, and Ethan Nwaneri came in and keep the match going, same as William Saliba who was out since their last match against Liverpool and Mosquera came in for him and today he performed really well and Arsenal fans don’t miss Saliba anymore.

This is a very good sign that Arsenal might win something this time because the coach make sure he sign all the necessary players the team will need. Eze was ver impressive, Zubimendi, and Gyokeress were all good today together with the remaining players. Congratulations to Arsenal for this great three points.

It was a five start performance from Arsenal today, at least a good way of making a comeback after losing to Liverpool in their last game. I expected them to win the game though, at least all bookmakers favoured them. Forest where no match for them. Arsenal lost their captain to injury in early hours of the game, which is something to be worried about because of other future fixtures. But I guess there is a form of hope for them as two major players would make a return before their next game against Manchester City. The importance of squad depth should never be underated. And brilliant goals from the goal scorers today.

And as for Forest, it was a tough day for them. There was no way Ange was going to win this game. He had a tough season at Spurs, so I wasn't expecting much especially in his first game at the club. Maybe the players hasn't fully blended into his tactics. Let's just give him time. But it was terrible of the club to sack the previous manager.

Arsenal woke up, beat Nottingham Forest and got three important points to come back with Premier League title competition after a disappointed defeat to Liverpool. It's good that their new players scored goals and contributed to this win and Gyokeres continued scoring goals for Arsenal. He actually has lit good light and hope in Arsenal that after several years since Aubameyang, Arsenal will have a world class striker in their squad.

Nottm it will improbably do a good season like they incredibly did the past year.

Last season is unbelievable success for Nottingham Forest and it's small chance that they can repeat it this season. Nottingham Forest will be like Girona in La Liga and they will have to return to low ranks in Premier League with player resource they have.

Yeah, there's nothing to be expected from Nottingham Forest. New coach, new squad, and terrible result. They're basically a new team compared to their previous squad. It takes more time for them to build chemistry, team work and everything. It's hard to take positives from their gameplay against Arsenal.

Stats shows that Arsenal completely dominated this match and they are deserved with a big win against Nottingham Forest. It's important come back for Arsenal and they did not let FIFA virus affects their performance today. It's like double success for Arsenal from this match and they can relax while watching and waiting results from other big clubs.

[Rockson1]

Congrats in advance, I don't like betting on arsenal on a straight steak, they have dealt with me in the past, for that reason I prefer betting on goals whenever they are playing with other teams, the two remaining games are supposed to be sure winning but in soccer there is no sure winning because any team can rise any time or any day to disgrace the favourite teams as we think but I wish you well, Chelsea might likely win, Tottenham the same thing but as a gambler you know what is at stake so don't be too sure so that you won't get disappointed if your betslip experience otherwise you know what I mean.

There's too much hope from Arsenal Fans this year. By the looks of it, this season too is going to be a Arsenal vs Liverpool fight. Last season Liverpool took the title while Arsenal have not won it for a very long time.
Nottingham Forest is not a bad team either but Arsenal were in total control. They controlled the ball as well were attacking the whole game. They never played defensive. While Nottingham Played defensive and the keeper did stopped some attacks but all the three goals were also due to mishaps on Nottingham's defense, either not being able to collect the ball properly or miss passing on their own area. Except for that loss against Liverpool, Arsenal has full points till date.

As far as I want to believe Arsenal can contend for the EPL this season, it's still too early for me.
The champions league is yet to start, and some other domestic cups too. And with Odegaard out injured, we don't know how long it's going to be, I think we should still wait to put them in that conversation.

With how the Gunners started today's game I saw something different which I never saw from them this season, a good thing for them to use every style they know would work for them and not to only rely on set pieces. Now we could see that  pattern the Gunners came with which is different from how they played against Liverpool and we can't expect Ange Postecoglou to get his first win against Arsenal, no it can't happen with how productive the Gunners was, the method would help them progress and the bench is as strong as the guys on the pitch.
Viktor Gyökeres goal will motivate him to continue scoring and I believe he has gotten used to the way they play, now I'm expecting to see him get an away goal which he hasn't gotten since joining the Gunners.
