Arsenal moved up to second in the Premier League table after their 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest at City Ground in Nottingham.

When Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka scored goals in the second half, it was the Gunners’ turn to take a two-goal lead.

That being said, Mikel Arteta’s team had 74% of the ball and 19 shots at goal at the City Ground, but Forest made it exciting by scoring a goal in the 89th minute through a substitute.

But Arsenal held on to make it two wins in a row and move into second place, one point behind leaders Liverpool. The Reds have a game in hand over Arsenal, as they host Chelsea on Wednesday.

At the same time, Forest’s fears of going down to the Championship grew as Nuno Espirito Santo’s team moved closer to the bottom two spots.
