Arsenal put on a masterful display to overcome Fulham 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium, improving their goal difference and lengthening their amazing unbeaten home run against the Cottagers.
The home team was quick to take control, scoring in under nine minutes. Bukayo Saka thrilled the crowd on the right wing before laying on Viktro Gyökeres, who had a simple tap-in. Arsenal kept the pressure on and attacking, Saka and Trossard were both close to scoring. In addition to that, Fulham keeper Leno had to make some very important saves.
The next goal came in the 40th minute when Gyökeres carried out a great one-two pass with Saka, who finished brilliantly. Arsenal got the last one right before the interval, with Gyökeres burying a header that rounded off an outstanding first-half performance.
Later on, Mikel Arteta was already thinking of their UEFA Champions League semi-finals second leg against Atlético Madrid, taking off Saka in the second half.
Fulham briefly tested Arsenal, but it was mainly the Gunners who controlled the game.
The win has taken Arsenal to the summit of the Premier League table, leaving Manchester City under pressure, while Fulham are at 10th spot but are still hoping for a European qualification.
