Arsenal secure narrow 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest
Arsenal maintained their pursuit of the Premier League title with a 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The match, played on October 18, 2026, saw the visitors struggle to break down a disciplined Forest defense for much of the game, failing to register a single shot on target until the 80th minute.
Noni Madueke, who entered the match as a second-half substitute for Eberechi Eze, secured the win with a deflected strike that beat goalkeeper Matz Sels. The goal was Arsenal's only shot on target throughout the encounter.
The result keeps Arsenal in second place with 18 points, trailing league leaders Manchester City by three points.
