Arsenal win with one shot on target as Forest sink into bottom three

Arsenal secured a narrow but crucial 1–0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, extending their slim lead in the Premier League title race. The lone goal came in the 80th minute when substitute Noni Madueke’s deflected strike beat goalkeeper Matz Sels after cutting inside from the left.

Despite dominating possession, Arsenal struggled to create clear chances in the first half, with Kai Havertz and Gabriel both missing opportunities from set pieces and open play. Forest, meanwhile, nearly salvaged a point in stoppage time, with Murillo curling a close-range effort wide after a solo run, but Arsenal’s defense held firm in the final moments.

The win keeps Arsenal within three points of Manchester City, while Forest’s defeat drops them into the relegation zone, their first home league goal of the season still elusive under manager Oliver Glasner.
