  • 0' That's the starting whistle at City Ground, Nottingham. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Nottingham Forest FC and Arsenal FC.
  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Thomas Partey suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nottingham Forest FC and Arsenal FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 19' GOAL! Taiwo Awoniyi scores on 19.
  • 20' Taiwo Awoniyi has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 20 minutes.
