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!"

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
