[WATCH] Referee corrects Riccardo Calafiori's throw-in during Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest

The Italian was caught learning a throw-in.
Arsenal easily defeated Nottingham Forest, winning 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium and climbed to the top of the table, at that time, with nine points.
Viktor Gyokeres added another goal to complete the victory, and MartĂn Zubimendi scored twice, making the Gunnersâ summer acquisitions the main attraction. Early in the season, their influence demonstrates that Mikel Artetaâs transfer strategy is already having an impact.

The Gunners bounced back impressively following their defeat against Liverpool before the international break and scored three past Forest. It is a statement win as they hope to once again challenge for the title this season.
However, despite their win, it was something else which caught the attention of the fans. A linesman was seen teaching the Gunners centre-back how to take a throw-in.
