"Arsenal overcame a fierce test at struggling Fulham to squeeze a 1-0 win that maintained their lead at the top of the Premier League, which had been threatened earlier in the day by Manchester City. Leandro Trossard's 58th-minute tap-in turned a game that had seen Fulham, now on a three-match losing streak, dominate the first half at Craven Cottage on Saturday."
"Fulham, who had lost at Aston Villa and Bournemouth, prior to the international break, enjoyed the better of the early chances with Raul Jimenez and Harry Wilson both dragging efforts that should have heavily tested the keeper. Arsenal, in contrast, enjoyed some nice spells in possession, but failed to test their former keeper Bernd Leno, in Fulham's goal, in the opening 30 minutes."
Arsenal secured a 1-0 win at Fulham thanks to Leandro Trossard's 58th-minute tap-in, reclaiming a three-point advantage over Manchester City. Manchester City had earlier climbed temporarily to the top with a 2-0 victory over Everton. Fulham dominated the first half and remain on a three-match losing streak after defeats at Aston Villa and Bournemouth. Raul Jimenez and Harry Wilson produced early chances that troubled Arsenal, while Tom Cairney fired a driven effort from a corner that was blocked. Record-signing Victor Gyokeres had a slow start and saw a low angled shot comfortably saved. Declan Rice struck a long-range effort that narrowly missed.
