Arsenal Held to Draw by Fulham, Title Hopes Suffer Another Setback

• Arsenal drew 1-1 against Fulham, with Raul Jimenez scoring early for Fulham and William Saliba equalizing from a set piece in the second half.
• Bukayo Saka's late header, which could have secured a win for Arsenal, was disallowed due to an offside call on Gabriel Martinelli in the build-up.
• Arsenal's dominance in possession and set-piece prowess were not enough to break down Fulham's resolute defense, highlighting their struggles to create clear chances in open play.
• The result leaves Arsenal six points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand after their match against Everton was postponed due to Storm Darragh.
• Injuries forced Arsenal into a makeshift defensive lineup, which was exposed during Fulham's goal, raising concerns about defensive consistency in their title challenge.
