Overview

- Arsenal controlled long spells yet failed to register a first-half shot on target before Matz Sels denied Bukayo Saka with a superb late save.
- Premier League Match Centre said no penalty was awarded for Ola Aina’s 80th-minute handball because the ball hit his shoulder first and his arm was in a natural position.

- Forest finished without a shot on target yet claimed a point that keeps them five clear of the drop zone.
