Bukayo Saka opened the scoring after breaking away from defenders and shooting at the visitors' goal, then at the start of the second half Thomas Partey doubled the lead after a beautiful shot from outside the box, and Nottingham were finished off by 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri, who shot into the corner of the goal after a pass from Sterling.

It should be added that Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko returned to the Arsenal squad in this match, coming on as a substitute on 67 minutes.
