Arsenal get a point from the bank of the Thames thanks to the set piece after recovering from the first goal of Fulham. The 23rd goal of gunners from the corner in the last two seasons is enough to take a point from Cottages in his stadium. Second in the Premier League this season, Arteta’s men arrive at legendary Craven Cottage with an obligation to improve their away side and with the aim of cutting three points from Liverpoolthat the match was canceled due to the typhoon.
however, Fulham started the game better than Arteta’s team. After a long possession, Leno played so long that Raúl Jiménez stopped facing his chest. The ball reached him Kenny Tetewho after a great trick move by the Mexican striker, put in a long ball. Jiménez won the race and finished low to score a goalmaking it 1-0.
Arsenal blocked after the goal. Fulham’s pressure, on Smith, was really successful Rowe always position yourself close to Declan Rice and Lukic with attentive to the movements of Odegaard. Without forcing the center backs out, Marco Silva’s men had a good first half in this regard, undermining a sterile Arsenal who also did not create danger through set pieces thanks to a spring called Diop.
Arteta’s men came out better after the break. Possession was more fruitful, sending balls into the area through Saka and Trossard. As it was not to be, Arsenal leveled the contest from a corner. Declan Rice He put a touched ball at the far post. Timber and Kiwior blocked Smith Rowewho is in charge of defending the far post. There, unmarked, Havertz appearedwho served the ball with his head so that’s it Saliba just had to push him. 1-1 has been checked and verified by centimeter.
Arsenal property continues to dominatebut Marco Silva’s changes took effect and lowered the soufflé of the visitors, who continued to bottle Fulham. The set cottager managed to go on the counterattack by Pereirawho took advantage of the fact that his rival was out of position to run and hit the ball against the post.
to Arteta They cannot find spaces against a Fulham side that fought hard throughout the match. The locals couldn’t do any damage on the counter either and the second half was marked by a lack of chances. Bukayo Saka scored a goal after help from Martinelli in the final minutes but it was ruled out for offside.
So, Fulham continues the good dynamics of this season and adds a credible point against an Arsenal that needs to improve its effectiveness and better to channel the dominance of matches if they want to fight for Premier.
