Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah was pleased to score in victory over Nottingham Forest.

Nketiah opened the scoring for the 2-1 win.

He said, "We had a really good start but they crept back in it - they made some changes which helped. It was a nervy finish but we deserved the three points.

"It was a great bit of skill by Martinelli to set me up and I was happy with the strike and we know Saka has that kind of quality - we are really happy to have him in our team.

"Everyone wants to play and everyone needs to be ready to play - so it's a good start for me and the team. You never know when you will get an opportunity but I'm pleased with my contribution.

"I grew up a supporter of the club - this is my home - so it's amazing to hear the fans singing my name at the end."
