Martin Zubimendi Hits Brace as Arsenal Go Top With 3–0 Win Over Forest

His two goals capped a rapid adaptation since a summer move from Real Sociedad that has already drawn glowing praise from Mikel Arteta.

Overview

  • Zubimendi scored with a 32nd‑minute volley and a late header, with Viktor Gyökeres also on target after an Eberechi Eze assist in the 3–0 home victory.
  • The two goals were the Spaniard’s first in the Premier League and the first brace of his professional career.
  • Arteta called Zubimendi “incredible” after the match, while Spanish outlet Sport lauded him with the headline “Zubimendi worth an empire.”
  • The midfielder has started and finished all four of Arsenal’s league games, helping the team lead the table on nine points with Liverpool holding a game in hand on Sunday.
  • Signed in July from Real Sociedad for a reported £50–60m, Zubimendi previously said he had doubts about moving to Liverpool when they activated his release clause last year.
