Xhaka misses the 3-0!

After all, a goal approach by the home side! Manor Solomon moves left to center and closes. The play equipment slips over his instep and therefore flies quite clearly past the right post.

The Cottagers get stuck in half of the Gunners and look for solutions in the last third. These do not offer themselves, however, as Arsenal defends attentively.

This means that Arsenal lives up to their role as favorites in the first half. Also when will Fulham arrive in this match?

Tooor for Arsenal FC, 0:2 by Gabriel Martinelli
The Gunners punish Fulham’s brave attack in cold blood! From the right back, the guests free themselves to the left in front as if made of one piece. Trossard then dribbles into the left of the box against Adarabioyo, who is not doing well. He then chips the ball at the back post to Martinelli, who second defender Robinson doesn’t look good against. The header into the right corner is then easy for the gunner.

Shortly thereafter, William Saliba pulls away from a determined 25 meters. The ball flies at high speed towards the right corner and sails just over the bar. Bernd Leno does not have to intervene.

Trossard is again allowed to take a corner kick from the left. This ball also comes dangerously to the five, but Fulham can clarify.

Tooor for Arsenal FC, 0-1 through Gabriel
Well then, right now, the guests think! The third (!) Corner in a row leads to success. Trossard takes over the execution from the left and hits the leather to the five. Gabriel rushes in from the back room and nods the leather right into the corner.

Arsenal stay on the trigger! The Gunners are absolutely decisive in the first 20 minutes. The Whites can hardly provide relief.

VAR rule: C. Robinson (Fulham FC) own goal is disallowed, score 0-0
Breathe a sigh of relief on the part of the home side! After VAR intervened, the goal was withdrawn due to Gabriel Martinelli being offside. Granit Xhaka actually plays him with a sensational pass into the half track on the left, but he is very delicately offside. In the further course he then goes into the box, wants to cross and Antonee Robinson then jumps the ball over the line when trying to clear it.

The guests are very patient in the early minutes and have more possession of the ball. Now they combine to the left of the sixteen, where Gabriel Martinelli has several options and chooses the most complicated one. He sends Granit Xhaka to the baseline, whose pass lands in the middle in the arms of Bernd Leno.

15:10
Arsenal take a free-kick from the right briefly as Fulham are very deep. Martinelli then receives the ball in the back and is not affected at all, so he lifts the ball behind the chain in the sixteen. But no one reaches the ball and so it tumbles out.

Both teams show a high level of intensity in the early minutes and push up. Goal chances are not listed yet.

Leno plays an inaccurate pass to Ream, who loses it to Saka. However, his cross into the center ends up in no man’s land.

Let’s go London! Fulham line up in white jerseys while the Gunners line up in black.
14:44
In all, Arsenal have won 10 out of 13 away games this season, conceding the second fewest goals and scoring the second most goals. In short: The team is incredibly consistent and, precisely because of this consistency, has been on course for the championship for weeks. This trend now has to be confirmed week after week.
14:39
And Arsenal FC has also exceeded all expectations so far. The Gunners are still at the top of the table and can extend their lead to five points again today. They still have to shake off the game during the week in the Europa League; nobody really wanted to be satisfied with the 2:2 against Sporting Lisbon.
14:25
Meanwhile, Fulham FC have been without a win for two games, but have not had to hide as a promoted team this season. The previous clashes with the top teams in the league also show how difficult they are to defeat. Liverpool were drawn at home, Chelsea could be beaten. They narrowly lost against Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal in the first leg.
14:25
And for a man on the pitch, this will certainly be a special game today: Bernd Leno meets his old team for the second time after joining Fulham FC earlier this season. With the Whites he found his old strength again and is the undisputed number one in the box.
14:12
Happy Sunday afternoon and a very warm welcome to the Premier League! London calling – Fulham FC welcomes league leaders Arsenal to the derby in England’s capital today. Begin is at 15 o’clock.
