Leandro Trossard assisted three first-half goals as Arsenal celebrated Mikel Arteta’s 100th win as Gunners boss with a comfortable 3-0 Premier League (PL) win against Fulham.
Following Fulham’s 3-1 loss against West London rivals Brentford, and after Arsenal’s enduring 2-2 draw in Lisbon on Thursday, a quiet opening to this match ensued as both sides kept things tight in the early stages.
But eager to extend their 100% winning streak in away London derbies this season, the Gunners soon took control, and Gabriel Martinelli’s low cross was turned into the net by Antonee Robinson before the defender’s blushes were spared as VAR ruled the goal out for offside.
