Arsenal returned to winning ways with a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on November 23, 2024, ending a four-game winless streak in the Premier League. Goals from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and Ethan Nwaneri, who scored his first Premier League goal, were instrumental in the win. The victory was especially significant as it came under manager Mikel Arteta’s 250th game in charge.
Chelsea also secured a crucial win, defeating Leicester City 2-1 to move up to third place in the league standings. Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez scored the goals for Chelsea, with Fernandez’s header coming in the 75th minute. Leicester managed to pull a goal back in stoppage time through Jordan Ayew’s penalty, but it wasn’t enough to secure a point.
The return of Martin Odegaard from injury was a major boost for Arsenal, as his pass set up Saka for the opening goal. Odegaard’s presence on the field was described by Arteta as making the team “flow differently”. Saka, who was influential throughout the match, also provided the assist for Partey’s goal.
Chelsea’s win was a much-needed boost for the team, especially with manager Enzo Maresca returning to haunt his former club. Despite several missed opportunities, Chelsea managed to secure the win and climb the league table1. The victory keeps them ahead of Arsenal on goals scored, despite both teams being level on points.
