What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorArsenal beat Nottingham Forest one-nil on Sunday, and Noni Madueke scored the only goal in the eightieth minute, after it deflected off a defender.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat was their first shot on target. Eighty minutes in, and the winner was a deflection, so technically Forest took it.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMadueke told Sky Sports the team, quote, did it all together.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm sorry, I need a minute, that's the most beautiful thing anyone's said all weekend.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThey really did. Eleven guys, one plan: wait until somebody else deflects it.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPatience, Kenji! That puts them second, three points behind Manchester City, and Forest are in the relegation zone.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe goal went off a Forest defender, so the other team helped too. Honestly, it was a group project.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRex, your game has a lot to live up to, because this one waited eighty minutes to start.
