Premier League: Arsenal thrash Forest

-

Arsenal 5 - 0 Nottingham Forest

Arsenal returned to winning ways in convincing fashion at the Emirates, with Reiss Nelson coming off the bench to score a brace.

Gabriel Martinelli set them on the way early on with a flying header, but it wasn’t until the second half that they took control.

Nelson netted twice in quick succession before a Thomas Partey screamer made it 4-0.

Martin Odegaard crashed home the fifth after being set up by Gabriel Jesus, as we recorded our biggest win of the season. 

The victory was Arsenal's 300th all-time at the Emirates, and took The Gunners back to the top of the Premier League table.

One Arsenal fan was full of praise for Gabriel Jesus and commented on the video: "Gabriel Jesus might not be scoring goals as expected but his fluidity is helping arsenal score more goals as a team."

Another added: "The unity connection with our supporters is on another level. I have never seen our fanbase so harmonized."

We also spoke with a number of Arsenal fans outside the ground

This fan is really with their current situation: "The fact that we are top and already have 10 wins out of 12 matches is amazing considering that we only managed 22 wins last season and still missed out on the top 4."

DJ, an Arsenal fan from Manchester, added: "I have to say, I was Skeptical when Reiss came on, game even slowed down for a minute there but oh my what a performance and what a statement he made today!"

The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference.
