Clinical Arsenal Arsenal's Eberechi Eze made his first start since signing from Crystal Palace in August, while the winger's England team-mate Declan Rice was left on the bench. Arteta was criticised for using three 'defensive' midfielders in the loss at Liverpool, but Mikel Merino scored a hat-trick for Spain during the international break, and he should have put Arsenal ahead in the opening stages.

It was no surprise when Arsenal took the lead from another dead-ball delivery in the 32nd minute, but Zubimendi's strike was far from routine. Meeting the ball on the volley, he blasted a brilliant strike from the edge of the area that took a slight deflection off Forest defender Murillo as it flashed past Sels. Gyokeres put Arsenal in complete control just 46 seconds after the interval. It was a goal that showcased Arteta's summer recruitment as Eze whipped in a low cross for Gyokeres to slot home with ease for the third goal since arriving from Sporting Lisbon. Forest almost hauled one back immediately as Wood's flick cannoned off the bar. Gyokeres nearly wrapped up the points with a drive against the post after Eze and Madueke combined to carve through the creaky Forest defence. Zubimendi administered the knockout blow in the 79th minute, rising to meet Leandro Trossard's cross with a clinical header.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick lashed out at the Spanish national team on Saturday after Lamine Yamal was ruled out of his team's La Liga clash against Valencia. The 18-year-old winger did not train with the Spanish champions because of a groin issue ahead of the game on Sunday, and is also a doubt to face Newcastle in the Champions League on Thursday. Yamal played twice for Spain in the 2026 World Cup qualifying wins against Bulgaria and Turkey last week.&nbsp;"He will not be available -- for me, it's a pity. He went to the national team with pain, he did not train, he got painkillers for playing," Flick told a news conference Saturday. "In every match they were three goals (or more) ahead, he played 79 and 73 minutes. Between the matches, he didn't train. This is not taking care about players.&nbsp;"Spain have best team in the world best players in the world. In every position, they are unbelievably good.

Bundesliga: Nine-man Bayer Leverkusen beat Eintracht Frankfurt in coach Kasper Hjulmand's debut

US sprinter Erriyon Knighton, a double world 200 metres medallist, must serve a four-year ban, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled on Friday (Sep 12) after rejecting his argument that he consumed steroids in imported beef. Knighton won bronze aged 19 at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon. A year later, he took silver in Budapest. He tested positive on March 26, 2024, for epitrenbolone, an anabolic steroid, in an out-of-competition test and was provisionally suspended from April to June 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;Knighton was initially cleared by a US tribunal, which accepted the theory of food contamination in time for Knighton to run in the Paris Olympics, where he finished fourth in the 200m final.

US sprinter Erriyon Knighton, a double world 200 metres medallist, must serve a four-year ban, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled on Friday (Sep 12) after rejecting his argument that he consumed steroids in imported beef. Knighton won bronze aged 19 at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon. A year later, he took silver in Budapest. He tested positive on March 26, 2024, for epitrenbolone, an anabolic steroid, in an out-of-competition test and was provisionally suspended from April to June 2024.

"There is no proof that would support the conclusion that oxtail imported into the USA would be likely to contain trenbolone residues at the level required to have caused the Athlete's Adverse Analytical Finding," said the court statement. WADA welcome the decision, saying: "WADA is pleased with the outcome and we will continue to appeal cases to CAS when we feel justice has not been served." Knighton's four-year ban, the court said, will include the period from 26 March, 2024 to 12 April, 2024.

Manchester United's Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana has completed a season-long loan move to Turkish side Trabzonspor. Onana's future at Old Trafford was in doubt after United signed Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens for 21 million euros (£18.2 million) plus add-ons. The 29-year-old Onano joined United from Inter Milan in 2023 for an initial 51 million euros plus a potential four million euros in add-ons and ended his first season with an FA Cup winners' medal. But Onana's increasingly erratic performances and clashes with manager Ruben Amorim last season left his position in doubt.

Arne Slot on Friday described new signing Alexander Isak as "maybe the best striker in the world" but warned he would be eased into action gradually after a disrupted pre-season. The Premier League champions signed the Sweden forward from Newcastle on transfer deadline day for a British-record fee of £125 million ($169 million), adding further firepower to their impressive squad. Isak's arrival after a protracted chase was part of an eye-catching splurge of more than £400 million in the summer transfer window, though a deadline-day move to sign Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi collapsed.&nbsp;"A lot of things happened on the last day (of the transfer window), which is not always the situation, because last season we hardly did anything during the whole window," Slot said on Friday. "But the thing that pleases me most, of course, is us getting the deal for Alex over the line."&nbsp;The Dutchman praised Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson for the way he handled Isak's workload during the international break. The 25-year-old, who has not played any club football this season, was on the bench for Sweden's 2-2 World Cup qualifying draw against Slovenia and was brought on as a late substitute in the 2-0 defeat against Kosovo.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/football-premier-league-man-city-keeper-donnarumma-ready-for-challenge-of-world-s-best-league-1757615645236">Premier League: Man City 'keeper Donnarumma ready for challenge of world's best league</a>&nbsp;"He gets one of the best, maybe the best striker in the world, and needs to play two very important games for his country, but understands that if he would play him twice for 90 minutes, then probably the player would have been injured," Slot said. "And that's not always easy for a manager, that he takes care of the interest of a player, so he deserves a big compliment for that. And we will treat Alex the same as they did, so don't expect him to be every single game 90 minutes on the pitch.&nbsp;“That's definitely not going to happen in the upcoming weeks.

Now he's a player for us and I'm really happy with that.”&nbsp;Slot, whose team have won all three of their Premier League matches so far this season, admitted he had been keen to sign Guehi but would not be drawn about any future bid.&nbsp;"I think it would be a bit ridiculous if I'm going to deny that we were close to signing him," he said.
