Match Events
Mikel Arteta’s side got off to a horrible start and were a goal down within the opening two minutes – thanks to Andreas Pereira’s neat finish.
The Brazilian had never scored against one of the ‘big six’, but he gave his side the lead after a combination of smart finishing and a goalkeeping error from Aaron Ramsdale.
The Gunners came close to levelling several times in the opening half, with summer signing ,Kai Havertz, missing from point blank range.
Fulham went into the break ahead and were set to to start the second half how they started the first, however Arsenal started the proceedings far stronger.
Arteta’s side were rewarded for their domination after Gabriel Martinelli was brought down in the 18-yard box and Bukayo Saka converted from the spot.
Just two minutes later, Arsenal had completed their turnaround as Eddie Nketiah found the target with a superb finish past Bernd Leno.
The Gunners looked set to clinch all three points and showcase a superb comeback, however, in the 87th minute Fulham equalised through Joao Palhinha.

Will Arsenal Compete For The Title?

Wins against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace saw the Gunners pick up six points from their opening two matches.
Mikel Arteta’s unbeaten run in the Premier League will face its toughest challenge yet as they welcome Manchester United to the Emirates next Sunday.
The Red Devils were victorious today, as they came from two goals down to beat Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford this afternoon.
