Arsenal cruised to a victory over Nottingham Forest as they breathed new life into their title push after a miserable few weeks.

The Gunners put three past Forest to ensure they give Man City something to think going into their game with Tottenham.

Goals from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and Ethan Nwaneri late on made sure of a fine win, much to the delight of Mikel Arteta.

Of course, Arsenal’s upturn in form has coincided with the return of Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian produced a masterclass in midfield performance against Forest and crucially, played a massive role in the opening goal for Bukayo Saka.

And discussing the goal, BBC pundit Pat Nevin lauded Odegaard for his impact in the goal.

Martin Odegaard praised for his assist v Nottingham Forest

Speaking about the opening Arsenal goal from Saka, BBC pundit Nevin lauded the finish and in particular, called out Martin Odegaard for the assist.

“Two international class players linking-up and working together. The sneak ball in from Martin Odegaard was phenomenal, him and Bukayo Saka were never out of the play,” Nevin commented.

“Saka goes across the box and it looked as if he went too far, but he comes back across himself and what a finish. You’re going to enjoy that on Match of the Day tonight!”
