6 clearances, 95% passing accuracy: This Arsenal player quietly outshone everyone at Nott’m Forest

Arsenal got over the line at Nottingham Forest thanks to a deflected strike late in the day from Noni Madueke but once again, it was the other end of the pitch what won the Gunners the game.

While Forest didn’t threaten too much, they still put Arsenal under enough pressure for some to say they might have warranted an equaliser. Much like last season, the entire back four chucked themselves in front of everything they could and in the end, it paid dividends.

New signing Ezri Konsa looked excellent, while both full-backs who finished – Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber – also played well. However, while he might not be getting the goals he got last season, it was Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhaes who quietly outshone everyone.
