Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Nottingham Forest FC gets underway.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Mikel Arteta will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' It looks surprising Arsenal FC does not make any changes. Martinelli has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nottingham Forest FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' Nottingham Forest FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 25' Martin Odegaard has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kai Havertz, as he is very good at scoring at City Ground with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' Emile Smith Rowe is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Arsenal FC so far.
- 40' The referee has no hesitation. Gabriel Jesus is booked for Arsenal FC — Yellow card on 40.
- 45' Over 45 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 46' The whistle greets Chris Wood as he departs to be replaced by Taiwo Awoniyi.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 56' Orel Mangala has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 25 cards already picked up this season.
- 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 64' Callum Hudson-Odoi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Nicolas Dominguez at the 64 minute mark.
- 65' The deadlock is broken! Gabriel Jesus gets on the scoresheet on 65 minutes.
- 70' The travelling Arsenal FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 71' The supporters are chanting for Kai Havertz. He replaces Emile Smith Rowe on 71 minute.
- 72' Magnificent from Bukayo Saka! That is 93 goals in 414 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 77' Arsenal FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 78' Leandro Trossard has so much to prove this time. He replaces Martinelli on 78 minute.
- 83' 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 Morgan Gibbs-White suffering a number of foals already.
- 88' It looks like no one’s ball. Arsenal FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 89' What a moment for Taiwo Awoniyi! That strike on 89 puts his side firmly in control.
- 90' Jorginho is ready to make an impact after coming on for Martin Odegaard at the 90 minute mark.
- With this win, Arsenal FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
