What We Know:

• Fulham failed to register a single shot on target — marking a rare shutout for Arsenal’s defence. [1]
• With the win, Arsenal moved to 19 points from eight games, placing them three points clear at the top of the Premier League. [1]

Why It Matters:

• The victory underscores Arsenal’s title credentials, showing they can grind out wins in challenging away fixtures.
• The clean sheet and minimal chances conceded reflect growing maturity under manager Mikel Arteta.
• Fulham will be disappointed with their lack of cutting edge, despite periods of pressure.

What’s Next:

• Arsenal host their next Premier League fixture looking to extend their lead and build momentum.
• Fulham must regroup quickly and find ways to convert possession into goal‑threats if they are to climb the table. Citations:
