Overview

• Martin Zubimendi scored twice and Viktor Gyökeres added a goal as Arsenal controlled Postecoglou’s debut at the Emirates.
• Postecoglou defended his players’ effort, calling it a very disruptive week with internationals and only one full training session together.
• He vowed that Forest would begin showing his principles by the midweek trip to Swansea, saying, “It won’t be months, it won’t be weeks, it’ll be Wednesday.”
• Arsenal supporters taunted the Australian with chants referencing his Tottenham past, though he said he is up for the fight.
• Nuno Espirito Santo’s dismissal earlier in the week set the backdrop to the loss, and Forest also saw centre-back Murillo depart injured in the first half.
