By Philip Duncan, PA Martin Zubimendi’s brace for Arsenal condemned Ange Postecoglou to a 3-0 defeat in his first match in charge of Nottingham Forest. Postecoglou was back in a Premier League dugout 99 days after he was dismissed as Tottenham manager but his side were behind on 32 minutes following Zubimendi’s brilliant 20-yard volley. Viktor Gyokeres doubled Arsenal’s advantage just 46 seconds into the second half before Zubimendi headed home his second with 11 minutes remaining.

The dominant win puts Arsenal’s Premier League title aspirations back on track following their 1-0 defeat to rivals Liverpool prior to the international break – with a shoulder injury to Martin Odegaard the only sour note of an impressive afternoon for Mikel Arteta’s men.
