THE NOTEBOOK: Forest face D-Day as chaos looms, Arsenal end losing run at the City Ground... but why were French legends Robert Pires and Lilian Thuram in the crowd?

Gabriel Jesus scored and then set up Bukayo Saka for another seven minutes later to lead Arsenal to a 2-1 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Tuesday that moved the north London side to within two points of leaders Liverpool.

The Gunners dominated possession but struggled to threaten the Forest goal before Jesus finally broke the deadlock in the 65th minute. Forest were lackadaisical on a throw-in and the ball fell to Jesus who fired through keeper Matt Turner's legs from an impossibly tight angle.

The Gunners doubled their lead in the 72nd minute when Jesus played a ball to Saka who shot across the goal.
