Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as frustrated Gunners drop points in title race
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal: The points were shared at the City Ground
Arsenal and Nottingham Forest played out an entertaining draw at the City Ground in their top of the table Premier League clash.
Both teams were hoping to secure three points, Arsenal to close the gap on Liverpool, Forest to remain on target for a top four finish but they came away with a point each.
Arsenal again rued their lack of a frontline striker as Riccardo Calafiori came closest to breaking the deadlock with a blistering shot in the first half that struck the woodwork. Though Mikel Arteta’s men dominated possession Matz Sels was only called on a few times and the Forest goalkeeper was up to the task of denying Mikel Merino’s headed effort.
Forest’s best chance fell to in-form striker Chris Wood. Morgan Gibbs-White controlled an aerial ball, spun and slipped him in but Wood’s effort couldn’t beat David Raya.
Both defences were on top form as the result was a fair one even if it means the Gunners fall further behind Liverpool in the title race.
