AFCON 2025
Bukayo Saka had a brilliant performance in Arsenal’s home win over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
The England international scored and provided an assist to substitute Thomas Partey as Arsenal recorded their first win in four league games.
It was quite a one-sided match as the Gunners dominated from start to finish.
Arsenal had 7 shots on targets. However, the Gunners scored only 3 while the Visitors chased the game without creating any.
Super Eagles duo of Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina were far from their best as Arsenal cruised to a very comfortable win.
Taiwo Awoniyi was on for more than hour in the match. Unfortunately, he didn’t trouble Arsenal’s defense as he wwas kept at bay.
The 27-year-old was taken off on the 63rdimute for New Zealand striker Chris Wood who has scored who has scored four goals in four matches for the Tricky Trees.
Ola Aina on the other hand was decent in defense but got booked for a foul.
Aina played the entire duration of the match as Nottingham Forest suffered a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Former Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling and young star Ethan Nwaneri combined to produce Arsenal’s third goal of the night.
Ethan Nwaneri buried a left-footed strike from the middle of the box to register his first Premier League goal.
Awoniyi’s search for his first goal of the season for Nottingham Forest continues while Ola Aina will look to put in a better performance in the next game at the City Ground against Ipswich.
For Bukayo Saka, his brilliant start to the season continues. The forward now has 4 league goals and currently tops the assists chart with 8.
