Nottingham Forest 0-4 Arsenal - Report

By Rob Kelly at the City Ground

SUMMARY

Lucas scored his first goals for the club as the Gunners cruised into the fourth round of the EFL Cup with a 4-0 victory at Nottingham Forest.

Despite making 11 changes to the team, Arsenal delivered a slick, confident display at the City Ground, with Chuba Akpom and Jeff Reine-Adelaide catching the eye.

But it was Granit Xhaka - fresh from his Hull howitzer - who opened the scoring as he once again took aim from 35 yards, and this time saw his strike take a deflection and find the top corner.
