Forest rediscovered themselves in Arsenal draw - Nuno
- Published
Boss Nuno Espirito Santo believes Nottingham Forest rediscovered their best qualities in their battling draw with Arsenal.
Forest remain third and six points behind the Gunners after Wednesday's 0-0 draw at the City Ground.
It came after they conceded eight goals in their last three games, including Sunday's 4-3 defeat at Newcastle.
Arsenal dominated possession and forced Forest to defended for long spells in the City Ground's first 0-0 draw in the Premier League since 1998.
"The most important thing was to realise how we do things, how we play and our strengths. Today it was there," said Nuno.
"We were compact and didn't allow Arsenal too much. Arsenal had chances, of course, because they are a very good team. But at the same time, we were compact, solid and aggressive.
"Maybe we could have found better transition points but it is always difficult. The positive is the clean sheet and, more than anything, finding ourselves as a team again with the way we do things.
"In the last moments of the game, we were the team getting the set-pieces and the dangerous momentum. That is a positive, also."
