They’d been up against it for long periods, but Arsenal turned the game against Fulham around with two goals in three minutes from Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah.
The Cottagers had opened the scoring in the opening minute and were good value for their lead at half-time.
Mikel Arteta’s side came out with the bit between their teeth in the second half, and once Saka had dispatched a penalty after Kenny Tete had upended Fabio Vieira, it was all hands to the pump.
Fulham did have a man down as Vieira’s pinpoint cross two minutes later was stroked home by Nketiah, leading to some controversy, but the goal was allowed to stand.
