Arsenal player ratings vs Nottingham Forest: Noni Madueke stars

A relatively quiet evening for the Spaniard in terms of shot-stopping, as he was only called upon to make two saves. However, his positioning was flawless, and he acted as a vital auxiliary playmaker, helping Arsenal maintain their high line and recycled possession effectively to keep the pressure on the hosts.

The Italian continues to look at home in this system, providing excellent balance on the left flank. He was sturdy in his individual duels and showed great composure when Forest tried to break on the counter-attack, contributing to a defensive unit that allowed very little room for error.

Dominant in the air and aggressive in his interceptions, Gabriel was the bedrock of the clean sheet. Starting in place of the absent William Saliba, Konsa produced a very professional performance.
