The Gunners resumed their five-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League as they defeated Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage
Arsenal responded to Manchester City’s win over Crystal Palace in emphatic style as they defeated London rivals Fulham 3-0 on Sunday.
The Gunners had their lead cut at the top of the Premier League to only two points on Saturday after Erling Haaland’s 27th league goal of the season handed Pep Guardiola’s men all three points at Selhurst Park.
Following the win, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp heaped praise on the Gunners’ set-pieces. “Arsenal have got 12 goals from set pieces, it’s something they’ve massively improved on from previous years,” he said when analysing the goal.
“Fulham defend in a zonal situation so Arsenal get all their players at the back post and you can see that Arsenal identify this and really get a run on the team. Tosin – number four – has a problem and then Thomas Partey plays a big part as he bumps him out of the way and then that leaves the space for Gabriel to come in.”
