What Mikel Arteta did as Reiss Nelson stunned the Arsenal fans in Nottingham Forest victory

Reiss Nelson may have just kick started his season with a brilliant performance off the bench for Arsenal in Sunday's 5-0 Premier League win against Nottingham Forest.

Nelson, 22, replaced Bukayo Saka after 27 minutes after the England international was forced off with an injury concern at the Emirates Stadium. Club doctor Gary O'Driscoll assessed Saka throughout the opening stages against Forest and he was replaced after receiving two lots of treatment.

After missing a number of games due to a thigh injury, Nelson was handed his first Premier League appearance of the season by Mikel Arteta to replace Saka. With the Gunners already 1-0 ahead following Gabriel Martinelli's fifth goal of the season, Nelson put Arsenal into a comfortable position with two goals in three minutes shortly after half-time.
