Arsenal stumble at Forest, miss chance to go nine points clear

Arsenal missed the chance to go nine points clear at the top of the table as they were frustrated by Nottingham Forest in a 0-0 draw at the City Ground.

The Gunners went into Saturday’s late game knowing they had a big opportunity following second-placed Manchester City’s earlier defeat to Manchester United.

Yet the Gunners, like against Liverpool in their previous league outing, were unable to find a way through a well-drilled defence.

On the occasion when they did create a clear opening, Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels was on hand to brilliantly keep out Bukayo Saka’s header.

Arsenal have increased their lead to seven points, but that gap would close to four if third-placed Aston Villa beat Everton on Sunday.

Forest stay 17th, five points above the relegation zone.
