Arsenal's absence from the top of the Premier League, following Manchester City's win over Leicester, lasted just over 24 hours as Mikel Arteta's side comfortably dispatched of Nottingham Forest on Sunday
Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Reiss Nelson (2), Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard sealed the win and saw Arsenal secure their fifth Premier League clean sheet of the season.
The Gunners have been relentless in attack so far this campaign scoring 30 goals in 12 games but their defence has been equally impressive considering the modifications to the backline which has seen injuries to Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu, who has since returned, force Mikel Arteta into playing Ben White and Tomiyasu out of position.
