Nottingham Forest 0, Arsenal 1. We had 74% of the ball and one shot on target, and Noni Madueke's deflected 80th-minute strike won it at the City Ground.


On this episode of North London Nerds:

- Gut reaction: a massive three points from an attack that was far from vintage again

- Feel versus data: why 74% possession didn't feel like control

- Eze hooked at half-time again, and what Arteta said about why

- Arteta on Forest's "Christmas tree" and Madueke on the goal: "come inside and leather it"

- The bold take: is this a second-half team? Six goals in three games, all after the 60th minute

- The bench again: Madueke, Merino and Gyökeres

- Receipts: grading my Episode 16 predictions honestly

- The table, City, Bayern away on Wednesday and Everton at home on Saturday

- The Worry Meter


Up the Arsenal.
