95'FT: Forest 1-2 Arsenal. The Gunners dominated the first 45 minutes, keeping possession of the ball as the Tricky Trees were forced to defend on the edge of their own prevented Arteta's side from breaking the deadlock. However, Gabriel Jesus finally managed to break through the solidity of the home side's defence and opened the scoring thanks to Zinchenko's clever throw-in. A few minutes later, the Brazilian was again key in setting up Bukayo Saka, who wrapped up the win.
