Viktor Gyökeres stole the show, netting two goals—his first coming in the 15th minute, a deft finish that sent the home crowd into raptures. Just before halftime, Bukayo Saka added to the tally, marking his 150th goal involvement for Arsenal. The Gunners went into halftime with a comfortable lead, something they hadn’t achieved since November 2024.

The match unfolded under clear skies, with fans buzzing from the moment they arrived. Arsenal had not only been on a winning streak but also had their sights set firmly on the Champions League. With this victory, they extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points, putting pressure on title rivals Manchester City.

Key statistics from the match:

• Arsenal scored three goals while Fulham failed to find the net.
• Gyökeres became the second Arsenal player to score over 20 goals in his debut season this century.
• Saka’s involvement now stands at 150 goals (80 goals and 70 assists) in just 308 appearances.
• This marked Fulham’s 33rd consecutive away match without a win against Arsenal.
• The expected goals for Arsenal in the first half were 2.4, their highest since May 2022.

As fans left the stadium buzzing with excitement, it was evident that Arteta’s tactical adjustments had paid off. With five changes made to his starting line-up, he managed to find the right combination that not only secured victory but also showcased emerging talent like Gyökeres alongside established stars like Saka.
