Fulham is having a successful year and is now ranked seventh. With three points against the league’s top team, Marco Silva’s team may move up to sixth, ahead of Newcastle United.
After City’s dramatic victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday, Mikel Arteta’s team was under pressure to win. And they duly delivered by tallying three goals in a raging first half.
Leandro Trossard was responsible for all three goals, which were scored by Gabriel Magalhaes (age 21). Gabriel Martinelli (age 26), and Martin Odegaard (age 45+2). Gabriel Jesus’ late injury comeback gave the team an additional boost.
Aleksandar Mitrovic rattled the crossbar for Fulham in the second half, and the team improved overall. But, Arsenal remained a threat at the other end, and Jesus came close to capping off his comeback when Bernd Leno saved his goal.
With a fifth straight win that never really appeared in doubt, Arsenal maintains a comfortable lead above City at the top of the Premier League thanks to the triumph.
Although Fulham had won four of their previous six games overall coming into the match, they never seemed to have a chance against Arsenal and were helpless against their quickness and incisiveness in attack.
Although VAR disallowed Antonee Robinson’s own goal because Martinelli was offside during the buildup, the hosts were given some breathing room. But, Arsenal quickly took the lead when Gabriel rose highest to head home Trossard’s dangerous corner.
