Gyokeres shines, Arsenal crushes Forest

On the evening of September 13, Arsenal easily beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 at home at Emirates Stadium in round 4 of the Premier League.

Gyokeres has been scoring goals since the beginning of the season.

Arsenal proved that the defeat to Liverpool in the previous round was just an accident. Returning to their home field, the "Gunners" showed the strength of a leading candidate for the championship. Midfielder Zubimendi's double in the 32nd and 79th minutes, and Gyokeres' goal in the 47th minute helped Arsenal return to winning streak.

It is worth mentioning that two of Arsenal's three goals in this match came from set pieces. Minute 32: From a corner kick, Zubimendi volleyed the ball outside the penalty area into Forest's net to open the scoring for Arsenal.

This was a masterpiece from the Spanish midfielder. By the end of the second half, Zubimendi completed his double with a header into the visitors' net, coming from a very good free kick arrangement by Arsenal.

Zubimendi had an excellent performance.

Sandwiched between Zubimendi's two goals was Gyokeres' strike in the 47th minute. The Swedish striker tapped the ball into an empty net easily after Eze's pass. Much of the credit for this goal belonged to Eze, as the England star got down smartly and crossed for Gyokeres.

Gyokeres scored his third goal in four rounds, making him one of the top scorers in the league. The three points earned from this match helped Arsenal temporarily take the lead from Liverpool, with nine points equal to their opponents but with a better goal difference.
