ARSENAL'S TITLE HOPES TAKE ANOTHER HIT
Arsenal suffered a 2-1 loss to Fulham, further damaging their chances at winning the title. The defeat comes as a blow to Mikel Arteta's team, who were unable to recover from their previous loss to West Ham in London.
WHO STOOD OUT?
Despite conceding two goals, David Raya was Arsenal's best player, earning a rating of 8. The goalkeeper made several impressive saves and played a crucial role in building a counter-attack that led to an early goal.
DEFENSIVE STRUGGLES
Bukayo Saka scored his first Premier League goal in six games, displaying great awareness and involvement in Arsenal's attacks. However, the defensive line faced issues, with players like Jakub Kiwior struggling in an unfamiliar left-back position.
A DISAPPOINTING NIGHT
Overall, Arsenal's performance was lackluster, with players like Ben White and William Saliba failing to make a significant impact. The team's frustration grew in the second half, and they were unable to secure a win.
SUBSTITUTES FALL SHORT
The substitutions made by Arteta did not have a significant impact on the game, with players like Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Jesus failing to improve Arsenal's defensive performance. Reiss Nelson also did not make an impression during his time on the pitch.
CONCLUSION
Arsenal's defeat to Fulham is a setback for their title ambitions. The team must regroup and address their defensive vulnerabilities if they want to stay in the race for the championship.
