In their first match under new head coach Ange Postecoglou, Forest faced a tough challenge. They had won only three of their last 11 Premier League games, and their recent form suggested they were struggling.

Postecoglou's team played a different style of football compared to their previous coach, and it seemed they were still adjusting to the change. Despite having more possession in the first half, Arsenal created few clear scoring opportunities.

Forest's centre-back Murillo and Arsenal's captain Martin Ødegaard were both replaced due to injuries, which disrupted the flow of the game. However, it was Arsenal's Martín Zubimendi who scored the opening goal with a stunning volley, his first goal for the club and his first from outside the box in his senior league career.

Arsenal doubled their lead early in the second half, with Viktor Gyökeres scoring from close range after Eberechi Eze's cross found him. Forest almost pulled a goal back, but Dan Ndoye's cross bounced off the post and David Raya made a save.

Despite some pressure late in the game, Forest were unable to find a way back into the match. Arsenal added a third goal late on, with Zubimendi scoring his second goal of the game. The win marked a strong response from Arsenal after their defeat against Liverpool before the international break.

For Forest, this was their second consecutive 3-0 loss, leaving Postecoglou with work to do to turn their season around.
