Mikel Arteta Drops Arsenal Return Hint for Nottingham Forest as He Issues Update on Four Players - Nottinghamshire Live
Arsenal extended their Premier League lead to seven points but missed four key chances and a disputed penalty, with manager Mikel Arteta criticizing VAR decisions.
- Nottingham Forest frustrated Arsenal at the City Ground, earning a goalless draw on January 17, 2026, after fighting back well during the first half and being content at the break.
- Playing with physical intensity, Forest used direct runs from deep that unsettled Mikel Arteta's press and matched Arsenal's muscularity in physical duels.
- Arsenal's major chances went begging, with Gabriel Martinelli firing wide from six yards and Matz Sels producing key saves while VAR denied a penalty after reviewing a handball.
- Forest's point proved timely in their relegation battle, sitting five points clear of the bottom three, while Arsenal extended their lead to seven points rather than nine after the draw.
- Mikel Arteta reacted with substitutions including Bukayo Saka, Mikel Merino and Gabriel Jesus, insisting `We want to be better`, while Sean Dyche criticised decisions and dressing-room insiders noted recurring triptychs of games.
