Fabio Viera (Trossard, 70') - 5. Tried to make things happen after coming on, but failed to match Forest’s physicality. Getty Images
NOTTINGHAM FOREST RATINGS: Keylor Navas - 7. Quickly off his line to smother Gabriel Jesus’ effort early in the game. Forced into a decent save by Saka on the hour mark. AP Photo
Joe Worrall - 8. Dovetailed perfectly alongside Felipe to frustrate the Gunners’ attackers. Combined well with Felipe to stop Jesus from running through on goal in the 23rd minute. PA
Felipe - 8. A thorn in the flesh of the Gunners‘ attackers during his time on the pitch. Good block to stop Jesus in the 12th minute. Getty Images
Moussa Niakhate - 8. Stayed close to Jesus and stopped him from generating enough power on his effort in the 17th minute. Picked up a needless yellow card for time wasting in the first half. His long throws caused Arsenal problems. AP Photo
Serge Aurier - 9. Did well to keep Trossard and Tierney quiet on the right-hand side. Excellent run to get past three Arsenal players to help relieve the pressure on the home side’s defence in the 80th minute. Getty Images
Renan Lodi - 7. Dealt well with the threat of Saka and Odegaard on the left-hand side in the first half. Failed to hit the target when he found space on the edge of the penalty area in the 71st minute. AP Photo
Ryan Yates - 7. Sat back and helped break up attacks. Got close to doubling the home side’s lead, but he failed to make contact with the ball. Getty Images
Orel Mangala - 7. A workhorse for the home side. Never stopped harrying the Gunners‘ midfielders. PA
Danilo - 5. Failed to get past Ben White when he had the chance to run at the Arsenal defence in the 33rd minute. Was the least effective of Forest’s attacking players. Reuters
Morgan Gibbs-White - 8. Great awareness to intercept Odegaard’s wayward pass and play Awoniyi through on goal for the opener. Could only find the side netting when he pounced on a Ben White error halfway into the second half. Getty Images
Taiwo Awoniyi - 8. Opened the scoring, albeit with a bit of luck, as Gabriel’s intended clearance ricocheted off his foot and bounced past Ramsdale into the net. Proved to be a handful all through the game. PA
SUBS: Cheikhou Kouyate (Danilo, 73') - N/A. Came on and tucked in to help the Forest backline withstand the late Gunners’ onslaught. AP Photo
Brennan Johnson (Awoniyi, 80') - N/A. Ended up fouling Ben White when he had the chance to help relieve the pressure on his defenders in added time. Reuters
Willy Boly (Felipe, 80') - N/A. Played his part by helping to ensure the Gunners didn’t grab an equaliser late in the game. PA
ARSENAL RATINGS: Aaron Ramsdale - 6. Had a shaky moment early in the second half when he almost dropped the ball after coming off his line to claim a corner kick. Made a routine save off a Gibbs-White in the 90th minute. Getty Images
Ben White - 6. Smart defensive header back into the path of Ramsdale to stop Gibbs-White from getting on the end of Awoniyi’s layoff. Lovely pass over the head of Forest's defence to play Saka in for the Gunners first real chance of the second half. AP Photo
Gabriel Malgahaes - 6. Unlucky to see his intended clearance come off the foot of Awoniyi and into the net to give the home side the lead. Dealt well with the threat of Awoniyi in the second half. Reuters
Jakub Kiwior - 6. Hardly tested defensively at left-back due to the away side having the majority of the possession. Found it hard to get involved in attack. EPA
Thomas Partey - 6. Utilised in an unusual role at right-back, Partey's impact was limited. He played in a dangerous cross in the 42nd minute, but there was no black shirt in the penalty area to get on the end of it. Getty Images
Granit Xhaka - 3. Almost invisible for the Gunners. Never really got involved as the visitors tried to find a way back into the game. AP Photo
Jorginho - 6. A solid performance at the base of midfield. He helped the Gunners break down attacks, but he couldn’t find the line-breaking passes from deep. Getty Images
Martin Odegaard - 5. Excellent dummy to fool two Forest defenders and play Saka through in the 10th minute. His inexplicable wayward backpass led to Forest’s opener. Looked far below his playmaking best. Getty Images
Leandro Trossard - 3. A disappointing outing for the Belgian on the left-hand side of the Gunners attack. Should have at least got an effort on target when Saka's corner kick found him in the penalty area. Getty Images
Bukayo Saka - 5. Couldn’t find a black shirt in the penalty area when Odegaard played through him in the 10th minute. Called Navas into action with a decent effort on the hour mark. AFP
Gabriel Jesus - 4. Almost gave the Gunners the lead early in the game, but Navas was quickly off his line to smother the effort. AP Photo
SUBS: Kieran Tierney (Kiwior, 63') - 5. Offered more in attack than the more defensive-minded Kiwior, but his final balls weren’t of the required quality. Reuters
Eddie Nketiah (Xhaka, 63') - 5. Worked hard after coming on but never really had the chance to trouble Navas in goal. AFP
