Having crowned his 250th game as our manager with a win, clean sheet and dominant display against Nottingham Forest, Mikel Arteta admitted it was a “beautiful day” to be in charge of the club.
Superb strikes from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey and Ethan Nwaneri clinched a 3-0 win to send everyone home happy from north London, especially our boss who made the bold decision to make five changes to his team with a busy fixture list on the horizon.
And he was thrilled it paid off with a performance worthy of the occasion, as a new-look team prevented Forest from even mustering a shot on target throughout the contest, and Mikel’s substitutions even yielded two goalscorers off the bench.
