Fantastic win!!!

A very dominant performance today, and with a number of changes.

Declan Rice wasn't risked as his broken toe kept him on the bench, while Thomas Partey was also benched. Jorginho thus completed the midfield 3 with Odegaard and Merino. Timber and Calafiori played full back in what is arguably our best back 4. Jesus was in for Havertz, while Trossard started ahead of Martinelli. Saka was fit enough to start.

We had an early goal disallowed for offside. Saka then scored a legitimate goal, showing great footwork before despatching an unstoppable shot past Sels. It was all we managed in the first half, and some were worried we would rue not extending the lead.

Partey came on at half time for the booked Jorginho, and it didn't take long for the Ghanaian to curl a stunner into the corner of the Forest net to make it 2-0.

The game lulled into a bit of a practice match before 17 year old Ethan Nwaneri came on. Almost immediately he breezed past Murillo and curled the ball just the wrong side of the post. Not deterred, he picked up the ball in midfield, passed to the right and continued his run into the box. Sterling cut it back to him and Nwaneri confidently passed the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-0.

Although we were rarely worried, Jota saw an offside goal ruled out.

A very professional job, with Martin Odegaard at the centre of it all. The Norwegian was arguably man of the match and looks back to his best.

Next up is the difficult trip to Sporting.
