Forest 1 - 0 Arsenal

Nottingham Forest beat Arsenal at the City Ground to secure their Premier League survival. Taiwo Awoniyi's 19th-minute goal was enough to seal the win and spark jubilant scenes from the home supporters at the final whistle.

Arsenal dominated possession throughout the match but they could not find a way through Forest's spirited defence.

After what must have seemed like an age as he paced up and down his technical area, waiting for seven minutes of injury time to pass and the loss of goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the very last seconds, Forest boss Steve Cooper was able to celebrate survival.
