Reiss Nelson scored two and assisted another as Arsenal returned to winning ways and moved back to the Premier League summit after a 5-0 rout of Nottingham Forest. Victory saw Arsenal emphatically respond to a 1-1 draw at Southampton and Europa League defeat to PSV.
Mikel Arteta’s side dominated at Emirates Stadium to regain their two-point lead over Manchester City, despite losing Bukayo Saka to injury after he assisted Gabriel Martinelli’s first-half opener on Sunday. Saka’s replacement Nelson added a quickfire second-half brace before teeing up Thomas Partey for the fourth, with Martin Odegaard capping victory with a powerful finish after 78 minutes.
Arsenal fans are in fairyland right now with their team top of the Premier League table, 2 points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City. Here are tweets as the Gunners celebrate thumping Nottingham Forest at home:

Martinelli headed Arsenal into a fifth-minute lead after finding the bottom-right corner following Saka’s curling cross. Renan Lodi cleared a Martinelli effort off the line as Arsenal dominated the first half which was somewhat marred by Saka’s removal following what seemed to be an ankle injury.
Nelson powered home on the rebound four minutes into the second half following a Dean Henderson save and doubled his personal account after turning Jesus’ low near-post cross into the bottom-left corner. Partey added a fourth with a delightful curler into the top-right corner from Nelson’s offload to the edge of the area, before Jesus teed up Odegaard to smash past Henderson and seal a dominant win.
