Ethan Nwaneri scored his first Arsenal goal as Mikel Arteta’s side beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 to secure a first Premier League win since October 5. Arsenal had the ball in net after five minutes when Jurrien Timber bundled in from a free-kick but Mikel Merino was judged to be offside from the initial header.

Arsenal return to Premier League action with a simple task ahead of them in the coming weeks. If they are to close the nine point gap on Liverpool they are going to need to get on the sort of winning run that has eluded them over the first 11 games of the campaign.
