Arsenal Go Top After Convincing 3-0 Win Over Nottingham Forest

Arsenal have climbed to the top of the Premier League table after a dominant 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in Saturday’s early kick-off at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s side looked sharp on their return from the international break, eager to put behind them the frustration of their narrow defeat at Liverpool.

The breakthrough came just before halftime when Martin Zubimendi volleyed home to give the Gunners the lead. Soon after the restart, Eberechi Eze combined brilliantly with Viktor Gyökeres, who calmly slotted in Arsenal’s second.

Zubimendi then doubled his tally with a well-placed header from Leandro Trossard’s cross, sealing a comfortable win for the North London side.

The result leaves Arsenal sitting top of the table with nine points from their opening four fixtures. However, their position could be short-lived, as Liverpool have the chance to reclaim top spot on Sunday when they visit Burnley.

Opinion: A Statement of Intent from Arsenal

This wasn’t just a routine win—it was a statement. For years, critics have doubted Arsenal’s ability to respond after setbacks, often pointing to mental fragility. But this performance, coming off the back of a loss at Anfield, shows a side learning to mix resilience with flair.

Zubimendi’s brace will grab the headlines, but what stood out was the balance in Arsenal’s play: Eze’s creativity, Gyökeres’ cutting edge, and the team’s collective hunger. This is not the Arsenal of old, who would falter after a defeat; this is a squad that seems to thrive on pressure.

Of course, it’s early days. Liverpool and Manchester City remain formidable obstacles in the title race. But for Arsenal fans, sitting at the summit—even briefly—is a reminder that their team is not just competing, but genuinely dreaming of going all the way.

The Emirates faithful can dare to believe: this season might just be another thrilling chapter in Arsenal’s resurgence.
