Nwaneri goal crowns Arsenal’s return to winning ways.
Teenager scores first Premier League goal as Gunners win 3-0 to earn first league win in five matches
Ethan Nwaneri scored his first Premier League goal as Arsenal returned to winning ways in Mikel Arteta’s 250th match in charge as they swept aside Nottingham Forest 3-0 on Saturday.
The 17-year-old capped a fine cameo display with a goal late on after Bukayo Saka scored one and set up another in a fine individual performance in what was an excellent team showing from the Gunners.
Having danced into the box to drill home a crisp finish for the opener, Saka turned provider for Thomas Partey early in the second half, with the midfielder curling the ball into the left-hand corner.
Nwaneri combined with fellow substitute Raheem Sterling to slide home his first Premier League goal and add further gloss late on.
Arsenal’s victory sees them go level with Chelsea on 22 points, but they remain in fourth place, while Forest drop down to sixth after back-to-back league defeats.
