“Arteta’s Shocking Words about Nottingham Forest after 3-0 win eill Surprise You
It was a Premier League match to forget for Nottingham Forest as they travelled to North London hoping to maintain their strong away form. However, Arsenal were determined to get back on track in their title bid and produced a ruthless display, overwhelming Forest with clinical finishing.
Goals from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and Ethan Nwaneri sealed a comprehensive win for the Gunners, leaving Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo to rue injuries to key players Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson.
Despite the loss, Forest’s start to the Premier League season has been impressive. Many pundits, including Gary Lineker, have revised their pre-season predictions, with Lineker even calling himself an “idiot” for underestimating Forest’s potential. After narrowly avoiding relegation in the last two seasons, there is now growing hope that Forest can make further progress in the 2024/25 campaign.
What Mikel Arteta said about Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal: Although Forest left the Emirates without a point, they may have earned a new admirer in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. Forest were never really in the game, with Saka opening the scoring after just 15 minutes, but Arteta acknowledged that his team should have scored more.
In his post-match press conference, Arteta praised Forest, saying, “With the 1-0, something else could have happened, and we missed some good chances. But credit to Forest—they’re a really good side, a constant threat every time they have the ball. They play with good intent both on and off the ball. That’s why they’ve done so well, especially away from home. We’re the first to beat them, and that’s for a reason—they’re a very good team.”
Looking ahead, Forest face a series of tough matches, but they also have opportunities to bounce back. Next week, they play Ipswich at home in what looks like a winnable game, but then face Manchester United and Manchester City away in quick succession.
The tough run of fixtures could actually work in Forest’s favour, as there’s little pressure on the team with plenty of points already in the bag. Espirito Santo will be focused on tightening up defensively, especially after conceding three goals in each of their last two matches, meaning plenty of defensive work is likely to feature prominently on the training ground this week.
