Despite a determined performance, Forest couldn't find a way past Arsenal's solid defensive pairing of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.
Gibbs-White, who captained the side and played the full 90 minutes, was heavily involved but struggled to create clear-cut chances in a tense and physical contest.
Ex-PGMOL chief Keith Hackett praised Andy Madley as he exclusively told that the referee rightly did not award Forest a penalty after Callum Hudson-Odoi went down easily after a challenge.
Gibbs-White was disappointed with the result and made his feelings known after the game on social media.
Following the result, Gibbs-White took to Instagram to share a post featuring pictures from the match with the caption: "+1. Wanted more."
Phil Foden was among those who reacted, liking the post, while his teammate Hudson-Odoi also interacted with the post. Ryan Yates added a comment with an emoji in support of his message.
