HALF TIME! Arsenal 1-0 Nottingham Forest
Arsenal lead at the break. They’ve had the majority of the ball, the attacking play and the attempts on goal, but it’s taken a special moment from Zubimendi to unlock the game.

45+3 mins: A good move from Eze to breeze past Savona and reach the byline. He pulls it back and almost finds Gyokeres, who had pounced ahead of Milenkovic.

CHANCE! Arsenal 1-0 Nottingham Forest
45+1 mins: Forest suddenly spring into life! Wood and Gibbs-White exchange a one-two and Gibbs-White has a sight of goal. It takes a brilliant challenge from Timber to force Gibbs-White wide.
That was their first attempt on goal but it was well-worked.

45 mins: There are going to be seven minutes of added time, due to the Odegaard and Murillo injuries.

Arsenal 1-0 Nottingham Forest
40 mins: It’s been a difficult start for Forest, made harder by Murillo being forced off with an injury picked up when he blocked Madueke’s run earlier. Nicolo Savona is on.
Ndoye then floats a cross that goes straight out when Wood was waiting in the box.

36 mins: Would you believe that Zubimendi gets another go at a volley from the edge of the box?!
This time Calafiori’s long throw is cleared, Zubimendi watches it drop perfectly and makes a pretty decent connection on the volley, but this one does not come down in time and goes over the bar.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Nottingham Forest (ZUBIMENDI 32′)
A STUNNING WAY TO OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT! MARTIN ZUBIMENDI, WHAT A GOAL!
The corner is cleared to the edge of the box and Zubimendi catches the volley to perfection. Ok, it takes a little deflection on the way through, which helps it away from Sels, but WOW, that’s how you control a volley!
Brilliant from the Spain international.

Arsenal 0-0 Nottingham Forest
30 mins: Forest are clinging on! Sels has to claw away an in-swinging corner from Eze, then Madueke races down the byline, beating Anderson, before he is stopped by a brilliant challenge from Murillo.
It’s last-ditch stuff from Forest. The corner count is rising for Arsenal.

Arsenal 0-0 Nottingham Forest
26 mins: The first signs of some frustration from the Arsenal fans. Forest look organised and are getting their blocks in.
Zubimendi’s pass out to Eze almost creates an opening but Eze is forced inside and he shoots into a wall of Forest defenders.
