Zubimendi’s brace and Gyökeres finish see Arsenal ease past Forest on Postecoglou’s debut
Arsenal flexed their control and newfound depth to hand Ange Postecoglou his debut defeat, beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the Emirates. Martín Zubimendi scored his first goals for Arsenal — a rasping volley from a Noni Madueke corner and a late header — while Viktor Gyokeres tapped in moments into the second half from Eberechi Eze's low cross.
Forest had glimpses, but little sustained threat. Morgan Gibbs-White shot wide from Forest's best first-half opening, and at 2-0, Chris Wood's chested effort was pushed onto the bar by David Raya on the goalkeeper's 100th Arsenal appearance. For the most part, Mikel Arteta's side dictated the tempo, with Madueke tormenting Morato and set pieces repeatedly unsettling the visitors.
