"Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to three points after Leandro Trossard's second-half goal fired Mikel Arteta's side to a 1-0 victory at Fulham. Trossard scored from a corner shortly before the hour mark at Craven Cottage before Arsenal were denied the chance to double their advantage when a penalty won by Bukayo Saka was overturned by VAR."
"Fulham have been hard to beat on home turf this season, having dropped just two points prior to Saturday's contest under the lights, while Arsenal have failed to win on their previous two visits here, and it was the hosts who enjoyed the best chances of the opening 30 minutes. Harry Wilson struck two efforts wide of David Raya's post, while Josh King called the Arsenal goalkeeper into action with a shot, designed as a cross."
"With nine minutes to go before the interval, a chance presented itself for the goal-shy Viktor Gyökeres but his first-time strike was parried by Bernd Leno. Moments later, Calafiori's wicked left-foot volley from Saka's cross fizzed just over the German's crossbar. Arsenal were beginning to look dangerous and Declan Rice fired wide with the final kick of the first half."
Arsenal secured a 1-0 win at Fulham thanks to Leandro Trossard's second-half goal from a corner, moving three points clear at the Premier League summit. Bukayo Saka won a penalty that was overturned by VAR, denying Arsenal a chance to increase their lead. Fulham threatened early, with Harry Wilson and Josh King creating chances and Riccardo Calafiori's effort ruled out for offside. Viktor Gyökeres saw a strike saved by Bernd Leno, and Calafiori volleyed narrowly over. Arsenal sustained pressure in the second half and held on for the narrow victory.
