Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said he “loved” seeing Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko clash at the end of their 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest. The Gunners closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to two points after an impressive second-half show cracked Forest’s resistance at the City Ground. But, after leading 2-0 through Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka, the visitors conceded late on when substitute Taiwo Awoniyi struck. After the full-time whistle, Arsenal’s celebrations were cut short when White and Zinchenko had to be separated after arguing about the hosts’ late goal. The Gunners initially struggled to break down Forest’s well-organised rearguard but took the lead after 65 minutes when home keeper Matt Turner allowed Jesus’ low shot to deflect in as it slipped through his legs at the near post.
Arsenal doubled their lead seven minutes later, cashing in ruthlessly on another Forest error after Gonzalo Montiel gifted possession to Martin Odegaard, his pass setting up Jesus to play in Saka for a confident finish across Turner. Forest substitute Awoniyi grabbed a goal back with a close-range finish in the dying moments and almost levelled from a similar position just moments after, but Gunners keeper David Raya was equal to it. Arteta’s celebrations at full-time illustrated just how much the win meant in a meeting with a Forest team whose victory here last season ended Arsenal’s title challenge. Liverpool could re-establish their five-point advantage at the top with victory over Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday, but this win provides the perfect platform for when Jurgen Klopp’s side visit Emirates Stadium at the weekend.
Arsenal lacked urgency in the first 45 minutes, Forest digging in successfully and resisting any serious threat despite the visitors’ dominating possession. The stakes are getting higher and Arsenal simply had to provide more cutting edge after the break or risk leaving the City Ground without the three points they desperately required. It was a far more dangerous Arsenal that re-emerged after the break, passing swiftly and more directly – a combination that proved too much for Forest. The pressure was mounting, with Jesus rattling the bar from six yards and shooting over before he was the grateful beneficiary of the error from former Arsenal keeper Turner, who somehow allowed the ball to squirm into the net to end the stalemate.
Saka had threatened throughout, but even after he made it 2-0 Arsenal then had to survive five anxious minutes of stoppage time after Awoniyi forced his way on to Montiel’s cross to give Forest hope of an unlikely comeback. The Gunners held out, Awoniyi scooping a chance into the arms of keeper Raya, and ended up celebrating at the ground where they suffered so much pain at the end of last season.
So you know about the Stanley tumbler craze. I even wrote a post about it a few days ago and well it seems that I have fallen trap to it as well. Well, sort off. So the Stanley Tumbler is available in India via Amazon.in but for huge sums of money. I found a few of them here for the prices anywhere between Rs.8,000 to 16,000 and one even priced at Rs.19k.

Despite being low in calories, shrimp contains many nutrients, including iodine and antioxidants, that may offer health benefits. But it is high in cholesterol. Shrimp is one of the most commonly consumed types of shellfish. It’s quite nutritious and provides high amounts of certain nutrients, such as iodine, that aren’t abundant in many other foods. On the other hand, some people claim that shrimp is unhealthy due to its high cholesterol content. Additionally, it’s commonly believed that farm-raised shrimp may have some negative health effects compared with wild-caught shrimp.
