Overview

  • Leandro Trossard scored the winner in the 58th minute, turning in a Bukayo Saka corner flicked on by Gabriel at Craven Cottage.
  • Referee Anthony Taylor overturned a penalty for a foul on Saka after a VAR review showed Fulham substitute Kevin made contact with the ball.
  • The victory is Arsenal's fifth in a row in all competitions and extends their unbeaten run to eight, leaving them three points clear of Manchester City with Liverpool playing Sunday.
  • Opta noted Arsenal have not faced a shot on target in back-to-back league matches for the first time since November of their 2003–04 title season, while their tally from corners reached 37 since the start of 2023–24.
  • Viktor Gyokeres' goal drought stretched to seven games as Bernd Leno twice denied him, with Arsenal turning next to a Champions League tie against Atlético Madrid on Tuesday.
