Summary
Ian Stone, Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke reflect on the Gunners finally putting their City Ground hoodoo behind them.
It was the lowest of low blocks from Forest but Mikel Arteta's side prevailed with another performance that encapsulated Gabriel Jesus and why watching Arsenal this season is a less joyous experience than last season.
Hear what the panel thought of the long-awaited return of Emile Smith Rowe in midfield, plus why they enjoyed the post-match afters between Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Plus the quietest of transfer windows and how Vivianne Miedema came back with a bang.
Produced by Jay Beale and Charlie Jones.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
