Arsenal Defeat Nottingham Forest 3-0 with Madueke, Zubimendi Impact

Arsenal secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium, highlighted by impressive performances from summer signings Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi, and Viktor Gyokeres. Madueke, coming off a confident England debut goal, delivered an energetic and threatening display from the right wing, prompting fans to speculate about Bukayo Saka potentially losing his starting spot upon return from injury. Zubimendi contributed two goals, including a stunning volley and a headed finish, while Gyokeres scored shortly after halftime, all helping Mikel Arteta's side maintain defensive solidity despite the absence of key players like Declan Rice and William Saliba. Arsenal's captain Martin Odegaard suffered an ankle injury early in the match, raising concerns ahead of their upcoming game against Manchester City. Nottingham Forest, under new manager Ange Postecoglou, struggled defensively and failed to find momentum, suffering a second consecutive 3-0 defeat and facing growing pressure from fans. The match underscored Arsenal's successful transfer window and their ability to perform well in the Premier League despite injury setbacks.
