Arsenal kept their Premier League title ambitions alive at Nottingham Forest as Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka struck in the second half to give the Gunners three points. Mikel Arteta's team looked set to endure a frustrating night when 65 minutes in, the Brazilian scored from a tight angle with a low shot that went through the legs of home keeper Matt Turner. Bukayo Saka fired into the bottom corner seven minutes later and despite Taiwo Awoniyi's late consolation, the result sets Mikel Arteta's men up for a huge clash with Liverpool on Sunday. Indeed, a sign of the 23-year-old's recent inactivity is that his last three Premier League starts - Newcastle in May 2022, Sheffield United in October 2023, and at Forest tonight - have come over three different calendar years. And Mikel Arteta's stubborn insistence that he does not need to add to his forward ranks again looked under scrutiny tonight.
