Arsenal delivered a dominant performance at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, defeating Fulham 3-0 to widen their advantage at the Premier League summit to six points over Manchester City.
The north London side, who reclaimed top spot last weekend with a slender 1-0 victory against Newcastle, showcased their attacking flair in emphatic fashion. Manager Mikel Arteta’s tactics paid off as his team made a clear statement in the title race.
Viktor Gyokeres opened the scoring inside the first nine minutes, slotting home after a precise low cross from Bukayo Saka. The Swedish striker then turned provider, setting up Saka to double the lead with a crisp low drive. Gyokeres completed his brace with a third goal, sealing a comprehensive win.
The result piles pressure on Manchester City, who will look to respond when they face Everton at Goodison Park on Monday night. Pep Guardiola’s side cannot afford any slip-ups if they hope to close the gap on the league leaders.
