Mikel Arteta sets huge Arsenal challenge for Nottingham Forest clash after frustrating PSV loss

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said his side must "reset" after their frustrating loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League on Thursday evening. The Gunners needed to avoid defeat in the Netherlands to secure top spot in their group and earn passage through to the round of 32 - avoiding an extra game for finishing second and facing a Champions League dropout.

The first-half was less than ideal for the visitors, who were given two warning shots as the home side had two goals disallowed for offside. They didn't heed them though as they continued to get pulled around until Joey Veerman fired PSV into the lead at the end of a well worked move.

That lead was soon doubled as goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale's blunder saw him attempt to clear a corner with a punch, but instead saw him miss and allowed Luuk de Jong to head home. It marks another difficult moment for Arteta after a disappointing draw against Southampton last weekend.
