In a pragmatic approach deployed by Nuno Espirito Santo, Forest had no intention of going for the win. However, they made a game of it late on as Taiwo Awoniyi scored in the 89th minute. Despite Forest's efforts, Arsenal managed to hold on and secure a victory, ending their three-game losing streak at the City Ground. This win also allowed Arsenal to exorcise the ghosts of last season's defeat, which had dashed their title challenge. Meanwhile, Forest's situation in the Premier League is looking precarious as they currently sit just two points above the relegation zone. Additionally, there is the looming threat of a points deduction for breaking financial rules hanging over them.
