Arsenal battled their way to a hard-earned 1–0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage, with Leandro Trossard’s second-half goal keeping Mikel Arteta’s side top of the Premier League.
Fulham started strong and thought they’d taken the lead when Riccardo Calafiori found the net, but the flag went up for offside.
Arsenal grew into the game and finally broke through in the 58th minute, as Bukayo Saka’s corner was flicked on and Trossard finished from close range.
The Gunners’ defence was rock solid again — Fulham failed to register a single shot on target.
Saliba, Gabriel, and Rice anchored another dominant display, sealing Arsenal’s fifth clean sheet in eight league games.
VAR drama struck when Arsenal were briefly awarded a penalty for a foul on Saka, only for the decision to be overturned.
But Arteta’s men stayed composed and saw out the win professionally.
The result puts Arsenal three points clear at the top, while Fulham’s struggles in front of goal continue.
It wasn’t flashy — but it was the mark of a side learning how to win like champions.
Final Score: Fulham 0–1 Arsenal
Goal: Trossard (58’)
