Arsenal delivered a dominant 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates on September 13, 2025, climbing to the top of the Premier League. Midfield maestro Martín Zubimendi stole the show, scoring his first goals for the club with a deflected strike in the 32nd minute and a clinical header late in the second half. Viktor Gyökeres also found the net just seconds into the second half, assisted by Eberechi Eze.
Goalkeeper David Raya celebrated his 100th Arsenal appearance, while captain Martin Ødegaard was unfortunately forced off early due to a shoulder injury. Despite a strong effort from Forest, including a near goal by Chris Wood, they were outclassed throughout. Manager Ange Postecoglou’s struggles against Arsenal continue, now with five consecutive losses.
New signings Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera added depth and impact, showcasing the strength of Mikel Arteta’s evolving squad.
