Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League final score, result and reaction

Arsenal still 2-0 to the good as we hit the hour mark at the Emirates. The Gunners remain well in control, but it is important they do not become complacent.

It remains to be seen whether or not Ramsdale will be Arsenal's number one for much longer with the Gunners reportedly keen to sign David Raya from Brentford. The England goalkeeper will be eager to remain first choice under Arteta.

The visitors enjoy a rare opportunity to attack and send a long throw into the box. The ball ricochets kindly for Yates, who draws a smart save from Ramsdale, but the flag is subsequently raised for offside.

As things stand, it looks like it will be more away-day blues for Forest, who lost 13 Premier League games on the road last season. That is something they must address this term in order to stay clear of relegation danger.

Today marks the 11th time in 12 years that Arsenal are launching their Premier League campaign in London. The only exception was a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at St James' Park on the opening weekend of 2019-20.

The Emirates applauds Timber, who cannot continue and limps off to be replaced by Tomiyasu.

Timber goes down again, instantly pulling up as he went to control the ball. It looks like his first Premier League start may end prematurely.

We are off and running again at the Emirates with Arsenal kicking things off once more.

Forest have been very much second-best so far, having enjoyed just under 16 per cent of the possession. Although, it could have been a different story had Brennan Johnson converted an earlier opportunity, the Wales forward shooting wide with only Aaron Ramsdale to beat.

Arsenal are well in control as they take a two-goal lead into half-time at the Emirates. Goals from Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka have left Nottingham Forest with a huge mountain to climb in the second half.
