Nuno Espirito Santo names the three Arsenal players who ‘killed’ Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo highlighted three players who were vital to Arsenal’s 3-0 Premier League win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
After a run of just two wins in seven games before the international break, the Gunners looked back to their best at the Emirates against Forest.
Bukayo Saka and Thomas Partey found the back of the net before Ethan Nwaneri scored his first top-flight goal late on.
The match was tipped to be a close encounter, as the sides were level on points ahead of kick-off with Forest enjoying a remarkable start to the season.
Quality players when they are involved in the game it becomes harder. [Martin] Odegaard is one of them.
‘[Leandro] Trossard created problems and Saka created problems. You cannot give time to players to decide so freely. Second half we became more pressing but they killed us with the second and third goals.
