"After a slow start, Riccardo Calafiori picked out the top-left corner with a sensational strike in the 18th minute, but the goal was ruled out for an offside against the Italian. Harry Wilson then came close to opening the scoring but could only fire wide of David Raya's near post after collecting Alex Iwobi's drilled pass inside the Arsenal penalty area. The lively Josh King almost caught Raya out soon after, with the visiting goalkeeper forced to tip a cross-shot over the bar as Declan Rice shot wide in first-half stoppage time."
"Arsenal's bright start after the restart was rewarded in the 58th minute when Gabriel Magalhaes nodded Saka's inviting corner to the back post for Trossard to knee over the line. Saka then thought he had won his side a penalty eight minutes later after being tripped by Fulham substitute Kevin in the box, but the decision was overturned after a VAR review. That moment was the closest either side came until the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time, but Leno was on hand to deny Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli's attempts."
Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League with a gritty 1-0 victory at Fulham, moving three points clear after eight matches. Riccardo Calafiori struck a sensational goal for Fulham in the first half, but it was ruled out for offside. Several early chances fell to Harry Wilson, Josh King and Viktor Gyokeres, while David Raya made important saves. The decisive moment came in the 58th minute when Gabriel Magalhaes nodded Bukayo Saka's corner to the back post for Leandro Trossard to knee over the line. A potential Arsenal penalty was overturned by VAR, and Fulham remain 14th.
