Arsenal secured a commanding 3-0 victory against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on early Tuesday. Bukayo Saka made a triumphant return from injury, assisting one goal and scoring another.
Saka tormented Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson during a fantastic first-half performance. He assisted Viktor Gyokeres’ first goal in the ninth minute, setting the tone for the match.
Gyokeres scored his second goal just before half-time, bringing his season total to 21 goals. Arsenal’s dominance was evident as they moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Riccardo Calafiori had a goal ruled out for offside, which could have added to Fulham’s woes. The Gunners almost added a fourth when Calafiori headed onto the crossbar.
Mikel Arteta made five changes to his starting line-up for this London derby. The adjustments paid off significantly with Saka’s impactful return.
Arteta wisely decided to take Saka off to ensure he is fully fit for Tuesday’s crucial Champions League semi-final clash against Atletico Madrid.
The win keeps Arsenal firmly in contention for the Premier League title while Fulham aims for European qualification.
