Arsenal continued their strong start to the season with a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, 13 September 2025. The win marks Martin Zubimendi’s first goals for the club and a strike from Viktor Gyökeres, while new signing Eberechi Eze made an immediate impact on his full debut.
Arsenal took control in the 32nd minute when Martin Zubimendi volleyed in from the edge of the box. The Spaniard’s effort deflected off Murillo, leaving Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels with no chance.
In the 79th minute, Zubimendi rose highest at the back post to head home Leandro Trossard’s cross and secure the three points. The goal capped a composed team performance and underlined Arsenal’s strength in both midfield control and attacking variety.
Ange Postecoglou, in his first match in charge, saw his side battle hard but ultimately fall short, with Chris Wood’s header against the bar their best chance.
What’s Next? Arsenal now turn their focus to the Champions League, with a trip to Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday, before hosting Manchester City in their Premier League clash next weekend. Nottingham Forest will face Swansea in the Carabao Cup before league fixtures against Burnley and a Europa League tie away to Real Betis.
