Mikel Arteta delivers Reiss Nelson team selection hint after Arsenal win vs Nottingham Forest

Arsenal star Reiss Nelson made an instant impact after replacing the injured Bukayo Saka during the 5-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

Nelson came off the bench to score twice and provide an assist as the Gunners ran riot at the Emirates Stadium, with Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey also scoring. Gabriel Jesus had a hand in three goals but failed to end his goal drought, meaning he has now gone seven games without netting for Arsenal in all competitions.

Saka had to be substituted in the first half after suffering an ankle injury moments after assisting Martinelli's opening goal. Mikel Arteta turned to Nelson as his replacement, with the 22-year-old making his first Premier League appearance of the season.
