Following only their second defeat of the season to PSV in the Europa League, Arsenal bounced back immediately and in some style with a dominating 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Gabriel Martinelli, Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard and surprise first-half substitute Reiss Nelson, who netted a brace, all found the back of the net in the victory.
Despite the positive result there was some concern emerging from the game around Bukayo Saka who went off injured for Nelson in the first half, but Mikel Arteta has played down the possibility of him missing this month's World Cup with the possibility of him even featuring in Sunday's London derby against Chelsea.
The result took Arsenal back to the top of the Premier League, after they were leapfrogged on Saturday by Manchester City after their 1-0 win over Leicester.
