Gunners shoot into second on EPL's explosive return

Arsenal's William Saliba challenges Nottingham Forest's Chris Wood for the ball during the English Premier League match at the City Ground stadium in Nottingham, England, on Tuesday. AP With one team scoring after just 18 seconds and another after 21 seconds, the Premier League made an explosive return on Tuesday, following the competition's short winter break. Just when it looked like being another frustrating match for Arsenal's often-profligate attack, Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka scored in the second half to edge the team past Nottingham Forest in a 2-1 win. Unai Emery's team has been the big surprise this season, but a 3-1 loss at home to Newcastle slowed its bid to secure a Champions League spot, with Villa staying in fourth place.
