00:00Yeah, it's got to be satisfying with no Ben White, no Declan Rice.
00:03Riccardo Calafiori is only just back from a knock.
00:06It's got to be good to not only keep a clean sheet,
00:08but stop Nottingham Forest even getting a shot on target.
00:12Yeah, I think that's certainly one of the key stats of the game.
00:15I think when you look at what Arsenal have done this season,
00:18they've always been pretty clinical in front of goal,
00:22despite not having a kind of out-and-out striker.
00:24But the most impressive thing about them, as we've always said,
00:26is the defence, the Gabriel and Saliba partnership.
00:29Absolutely solid.
00:31And look, I think this game was really difficult for Arsenal.
00:34It could have presented a difficult challenge for Arsenal.
00:36But in the end, they overcame the obstacle.
00:40And yeah, I think Thomas Partey in particular,
00:43really good goal from him.
00:45And even Nwanneri coming on again and scoring.
00:50Second youngest Premier League goalscorer in Arsenal's history.
00:53He looks like such a talent.
00:56Giving him more opportunities as every game comes.
01:00And I think he is going to become quite an important player
01:02as the season goes on for Arsenal.
01:05Yeah, where do you see those opportunities coming?
01:07Because at 17 years old, we're obviously starting to see
01:09a really sparkling talent in Nwanneri.
01:11But it's pretty tricky to sort of give him starts, give him minutes.
01:14Where do you think those chances could come?
01:17I think as we saw against Forest,
01:19it will come in those kind of latter stages of games,
01:21perhaps when the opposition are tiring.
01:24And that's when Arteta feels that he can
01:26maybe exploit opposition defences.
01:29I think the thing about him, as you mentioned,
01:31Matt, is his age.
01:32That's 17 years old.
01:34You know, he's so young, but he's so fresh.
01:36He really wants to prove himself
01:38and assert himself in these games.
01:40So I think it's a really interesting one for Ethan Nwanneri.
01:45He's a player who has really big ambitions.
01:47And as we're going to talk about later,
01:49it looks like he's going to be rewarded for it very soon.
