Fulham earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Arsenal in west London, capping a productive week with five points from matches against Spurs, Brighton, and the Gunners. Marco Silva's side took an early lead after 11 minutes when Raul Jimenez latched onto Kenny Tete's precise pass. Despite William Saliba’s close marking, Jimenez struck early to beat David Raya, netting his sixth goal of the season.
Arsenal leveled six minutes into the second half through Saliba, but Fulham’s resolute defense kept the visitors at bay for most of the match. Late drama unfolded when Bukayo Saka appeared to secure the win, nodding in Gabriel Martinelli's cross. However, a VAR check disallowed the goal, ruling Martinelli offside in the buildup. The result showcased Fulham’s resilience, leaving them with an impressive return from a challenging seven-day fixture list.
