Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has defended his team after they only managed one shot on target in their 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday. According to Arteta, Nottingham Forest's well-coached team made it difficult for Arsenal to create scoring opportunities. He stated, "They put a Christmas tree there. There is no space to play. You have to be so neat and tidy." The match was played on October 18, 2026. Arteta praised Noni Madueke, who came on as a half-time substitute and scored the winning goal with a deflected strike in the 80th minute. The Gunners have played 11 competitive matches and won 10, with Arteta saying, "I think we have played 11 competitive matches. We won 10. So we're going to gain the variety of ways to win in many different contexts."
