Viktor Gyökeres scored two goals in this match, becoming the second Arsenal player to net over 20 goals in his debut season this century. Bukayo Saka also made his mark by scoring one goal, which marked his 150th goal involvement for Arsenal.

This victory allowed Arsenal to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points. They have now not lost at home to Fulham in their last 33 league encounters.

Key statistics from the match:

• Arsenal’s expected goals in the first half reached 2.4, their highest since May 2022.
• This match marked the first time Arsenal were three goals ahead at half-time since November 2024.
• Mikel Arteta made five changes to his starting line-up for this match.

Fulham’s poor away record against Arsenal continues, as they have not won any of their last 33 away matches against them in league history. Riccardo Calafiori had a goal ruled out for offside during the first half, adding to Fulham’s frustrations.

With this win, Arsenal applied pressure on title rivals Manchester City, who still have two games in hand. The team looks poised for a strong finish as they aim for Champions League qualification.
