Arsenal secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Fulham in the Premier League on Tuesday, with Bukayo Saka coming off the bench to score the decisive goal and keep the pressure on league leaders Liverpool.
The Gunners started strong, dominating possession in the early minutes. However, they suffered an early setback when defender Gabriel was forced off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. Despite this, Arsenal maintained control, and their persistence paid off when Mikel Merino found space to unleash a shot that deflected past Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno, giving the hosts a deserved lead.
Arsenal continued to press in the second half, creating several chances before Gabriel Martinelli produced a moment of brilliance, flicking the ball into the path of Saka, who nodded home to double their advantage. Fulham, struggling to break through Arsenal’s defensive organization, found a late goal through Rodrigo Muniz in stoppage time, but it was too little, too late.
Despite some nervy moments, Arsenal held on for an important win, showing resilience and attacking quality. The result keeps them firmly in the title race, closing the gap on Liverpool as they push for Premier League glory.
