Premier League 2024-25: Saka on target as Arsenal beats Nottingham Forest to return to winning ways
The HinduArsenal returned to winning ways in the Premier League with Bukayo Saka and captain Martin Odegaard inspiring a comfortable 3-0 home victory against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Mikel Arteta’s side desperately needed three points to revive its title hopes after four league games without a win and the result never looked in doubt after Saka’s early opener. Forest began the game level on points with Arsenal but its hopes vanished when halftime substitute Thomas Partey doubled Arsenal’s lead with a curled finish in the 52nd minute and substitute Ethan Nwaneri added a late third. In other matches, Matheus Cunha’s superb double earned Wolves a 4-1 comeback victory at Fulham in the Premier League, extending the visitor’s unbeaten run to four games.
