Arsenal Fans Fume at Nottingham Forest Star’s Controversial Actions Following Crucial Man City Win
Arsenal supporters expressed their disappointment towards a Nottingham Forest player following Manchester City’s crucial 2-0 victory at the City Ground, which added three more points to City’s push for the Premier League championship.
Before the game in Nottingham, Arsenal had triumphed 3-2 over Tottenham in a thrilling north London derby on Sunday. They were hoping for Forest to aid them in their title pursuit. Mikel Arteta’s team was leading City by four points, although City had two games in hand.
The match carried significance for Forest as well, being just one point ahead of 18th-placed Luton in their bid to avoid relegation. Despite their efforts, Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad suffered a tough loss, intensifying the competition between themselves, Luton, and Burnley for the 17th position in the final three matches of the season.
Chris Wood has been instrumental for Forest this season, scoring 12 goals in 27 games. However, his performance in this match was subpar, missing a few goal-scoring chances and misfiring from close range as he aimed to find the net once again.
Arsenal fans, particularly unhappy with Wood’s missed opportunities, voiced their frustrations on social media platforms. They believed that had Wood been more clinical, Forest might have fared better against City, especially as Erling Haaland sealed the 2-0 win for City late in the game.
City’s victory narrowed the gap to just one point behind Arsenal in the title race, but they have a game in hand, placing them in a favorable position as the season approaches its conclusion.
