Premier League result: Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka secure opening weekend victory for Arsenal despite late rally from Nottingham Forest

Arsenal 2-1 Nottingham Forest.

Odegaard curves just wide after the Gunners had threatened to finish it off on the counter attack.

Kouyate flashes an awkward shot off target from 25 yards after Arsenal had half cleared a free kick.

Seven minutes were added. Still time for Forest to rescue this...

YELLOW CARD!

Ben White cautioned.

Kouyaté on.

Wood on.

Six minutes added.

The visitors stayed in the game by defending for most of the match and then changed tact by throwing on some forwards. It's paid dividends and we are now in for a barnstorming finale.

End-to-end stuff!

Gabriel on.

The visitors burst down the left again but this time Gibbs-White lashes over on the stretch with a fizzing a 20-yard effort.

The substitutes combine as Elanga surges down the left and puts it on a plate for Awoniyi to tuck home from close range.

Rice lets fly with a miscued, bouncing volley that Turner manages to push past the post.

Mangala cautioned for pulling back Odegaard.

Elanga on.

Ramsdale is grateful to scoop the ball out of the air after Boly had risen highest to meet a right-wing corner, but then failed to connect fully with his header.

Rice almost scores on his PL bow for the Gunners but his deflected, low 20-yard strike is tipped on to the post by Turner.

Trossard on.

Awoniyi on.
