Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey was the star of the show as Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners had been struggling in recent games, but Partey’s stunning goal helped them get back to winning ways.
The match started with Nottingham Forest taking an early lead through Jurien Timber, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Arsenal then took control of the game, with Bukayo Saka opening the scoring in the 15th minute. Partey added to the lead with a fantastic strike from outside the box in the second half, before Ethan Nwaneri sealed the victory with a goal in the 86th minute.
This was Partey’s first goal since August, when he scored in Arsenal’s away win against Aston Villa. Despite not finding the back of the net frequently, the 31-year-old has been a key player for the Gunners this season, showcasing his versatility by playing in different positions when needed.
Arsenal’s win over Nottingham Forest was not only their first in four games but also marked their 2000th top-flight victory. The team will now shift their focus to upcoming matches against Sporting CP in Portugal and a London derby against West Ham United.
The Gunners currently sit in fourth place in the league standings after a difficult run of games. However, with players like Partey in top form, they will be looking to build on this victory and climb up the table in the coming weeks.
