Arsenal locked horns with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground earlier this evening as they hoped to earn a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Gunners made a decent start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time break.<\/p>\n

Both sides cancelled each other out in the second half as Mikel Arteta\u2019s men had to settle for a 0-0 draw away from home.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Arsenal<\/a> player fared during the clash against Nottingham.<\/p>\n

GK: David Raya \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raya didn\u2019t have a save to make in the game and kept an easy clean sheet this evening.<\/p>\n

RB: Ben White \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was a positive influence at both ends of the field.<\/p>\n

CB: William Saliba \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saliba performed his defensive duties well and was tidy with his passing.<\/p>\n

CB: Gabriel \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He cleared the danger when he could and was accurate with his ball distribution.<\/p>\n

LB: Jurrien Timber \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He performed his defensive duties well and was strong in the air.<\/p>\n

CM: Martin Odegaard \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Odegaard failed to get into the flow of the game.<\/p>\n

CM: Martin Zubimendi \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He anchored the midfield with conviction but offered very little inside the Nottingham half.<\/p>\n

CM: Declan Rice \u2013 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rice was a positive influence at both ends of the pitch.<\/p>\n

RW: Noni Madueke \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He caused a few headaches for his marker, but didn\u2019t do enough to register a goal.<\/p>\n

ST: Viktor Gyokeres \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gyokeres had one bright moment in the game but was otherwise quiet in the final third.<\/p>\n

LW: Gabriel Martinelli \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was not shy of having a strike at goal but failed to get his name on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n

Substitutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

ST: Leandro Trossard \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

His impact on the game was minimal.<\/p>\n

ST: Gabriel Jesus \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He failed to threaten the Nottingham goal.<\/p>\n

CM: Mikel Merino \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merino made one good chance in the final third.<\/p>\n

RW: Bukayo Saka \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was a constant menace on the right flank, but there was no goal for him.<\/p>\n

LW: Eberechi Eze \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

His influence on the pitch was minimal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
