Match report: Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest

Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin enjoyed fairytale returns to the first team with a goal and an assist respectively as we cruised into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

After the livewire Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the first half, the stage was set for Holding to double our advantage after the restart.

It has been a long road back for the 24-year-old after he suffered a serious knee injury at Old Trafford back in December, but all the hours in the gym, all the graft in rehab had been leading to this moment – and he enjoyed every moment of it.
