Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 on Saturday lunchtime to get back to winning ways, in an absolute demolition of the Europa League outfit on home turf in their Premier League title push - and whilst a number of stars massively impressed, one player in particular stood out after demolishing the Tricky Trees.
A thunderbolt from Martin Zubimendi in the first half set the tone, whilst a rapid start to the second half saw Viktor Gyokeres score his third Premier League goal in just two home games, turning home an Eberechi Eze cross to give the Gunners breathing space. Zubimendi then turned his collector's item opener into a double delight, nodding home from a Leandro Trossard cross to set up the party atmosphere in north London.
Noni Madueke Produced an Incredible Display vs Nottingham Forest

In truth, it could have been more - and had anyone got on the end of Noni Madueke's brilliance, we could have been looking at a cricket score.
The England winger bagged his first international goal in midweek against Serbia, being a real thorn in their side in what could have been a tough test in Belgrade - and his form has seen him thrust into Arsenal's first-team amid injury to Bukayo Saka.
Playing 78 minutes, Madueke gave Morato a torrid time out wide, with Sofascore reporting that he ended up completing four successful dribbles, massively tormenting the Forest defence. His pace burned the Brazilian, taking him on a number of times in the first half, cutting to the byline and crossing, albeit unsuccessfully.
Madueke has shown his best form at Arsenal, being a direct winger who is not afraid to take a man on - and when he's in a confident mood, there aren't many players like him in the Premier League. Blistering pace saw Morato needing help from fellow Three Lions star Elliot Anderson in defence, and Madueke even beat him at times.
63 touches resulted in five key passes, 14 cross attempts and 30 attempted passes, creating one big chance in the process, as well as delivering a number of corners - one that Zubimendi ended up scoring from.
Although Madueke didn't get on the scoresheet as well as failing to register an assist, the 'unbelievable' star was a constant threat and that freed up space for other attackers - as seen by Eze's assist for Gyokeres.
Madueke Could be Arsenal's Best Piece of Summer Business

Zubimendi will ultimately get the praise as the Man of the Match, and rightly so for his two goal contributions, but Madueke does look to be a real good piece of summer business from Mikel Arteta.
It's worth remembering that Arsenal fans even went as far as creating a petition to stop their club from signing the Chelsea star, but he's come in and been a real asset. Originally signed as backup for Saka, Madueke has started their last three games and although he's not produced a return, he's been knocking on the door in that regard.
He's certainly an incredible backup for Saka, and if The Hale End graduate struggles on his return from injury, it is Madueke's spot to lose.
Eze, Zubimendi and Gyokeres were the highest-profile signings for Arsenal this summer but Madueke could prove to be the most vital incoming if he can replace and stand-in for Saka to an adequate level.
