Here is a look at the xG (expected goals) stats from Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest. It was always going to be a tough ask for Forest given their woeful away form in the league last season and the Gunners’ own fantastic opening day record.

It eventually finished 2-1 to the Gunners. They were dominant in the first half (in the 24th minute, Arsenal had 180 passes to Forest’s 13)and a lovely assist from Gabriel Martinelli set up Nketiah for the opening goal.
