It seems like there was something in the water. The City Ground showed exactly why it’s known as the World Famous. Today’s victory not only secures Premier League for Forest, but makes it three consecutive wins against the Gunners.
Arteta’s side had much of the possession today but thanks to a truly solid defensive display, had no clear cut chances.
Yates, Danilo, Mangala and Gibbs-White kept Arsenal’s midfield from penetrating the centre of the park while Aurier and Lodi sheparded the wings valiently.
Taiwo Awoniyi continued his rich vein of form, which gives him the best goals per minute in the top flight and the City of Nottingham can party the night away.
Here are our player ratings from today’s epic victory.
1. Keylor Navas - 7
Solid performance from the Costa Rican. Almost as good as Hennessey.
2. Renan Lodi - 8
Kept Saka as quiet as he’s been all season. Dogged, determined and desperate to stay at the club.
3. Joe Worrall - 8
Mr Nottingham Forest - been an absolute soldier in the final run in and was top quality today. Nothing got passed him, incredibly organised and dominant display.
4. Felipe - 7
Left Arsenal fans praying for Jesus, rather than to him. Another classy performance.
