Mikel Arteta has praised Arsenal's summer signings for making the team 'more unpredictable' after a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. The match saw new signings Martín Zubimendi and Noni Madueke shine, with Zubimendi scoring a stunning volley and Madueke causing constant problems for Forest's defense.

Key Performances

• Martín Zubimendi: Opened the scoring with a spectacular volley from the edge of the box.
• Noni Madueke: Provided relentless pressure on Forest's defense, showcasing his dribbling skills and pace.
• Viktor Gyökeres: Scored his third goal in four games, proving his worth as a summer acquisition.

Tactical Flexibility

Arteta highlighted the importance of the new signings in providing tactical flexibility. 'We played a front three we never played before,' he said. 'Good exposure for them, in terms of the timing, it was exactly what they needed because they played a lot of minutes so we are very happy.'

Injury Impact

Despite losing captain Martin Ødegaard to a shoulder injury early in the game, Arsenal dominated the match. Cristhian Mosquera stepped in for William Saliba and delivered a solid performance at the back.

Looking Ahead

Arteta emphasized the need for continued integration of the new players. 'We have to make sure that everybody feels connected and important,' he said. The win puts Arsenal's recent defeat to Liverpool firmly behind them as they look to build momentum in the Premier League.
