Arsenal 2-1 Nottingham Forest: Arsenal Player Ratings | Saka Shines…as for Ben White…
Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest to 2-1 at the Emirates and unfortunately we couldn’t keep a clean sheet. Overall I’m happy with the first-half performance, but it did get a little bit nervy in the second half after Forest scored their goal. Six minutes of amazing football led to 2 of Arsenal‘s goals From Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah. With Timbers injury, we did have some bad luck but I hope he’s going to be okay.
First Premier League win of the season. Let’s go! Onto the next one: bring on Crystal Palace.

Havertz: 6.5
Havertz gets too much hate. He did not have a bad game created a good chance for Rice & won most of his duels

Saka: MOTM 8.5
Bukayo Saka starts off where he left off last season, scoring a goal, having a man of the match performance and leaving people at the Emirates done after scoring a brilliant banger from outside the box with his left foot Starboy doing Starboy things.

Martinelli: 8
Martinelli looks really strong. Every time he goes into a 50-50 with Aurier, he comes out on winning. Also That pass by Martinelli leading up to Eddie Nketiah goal 😮💨

Nketiah: 8
🎶 Your defence is in trouble in Nketiah is in the room Score a good worked goal in 26 min i’m not ready to call him steady Eddie, but hopefully, keep it up.
