Arsenal solidified their position at the top of the Premier League with a narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. The only goal came from Leandro Trossard, who scored from a Bukayo Saka corner. This marked Arsenal's 50th goal from a set piece since the start of the 2022/23 season, highlighting their strength in such situations.

Fulham, traditionally a tough opponent for Arsenal, failed to create significant scoring opportunities, with Harry Wilson missing their best chances. Arsenal also had opportunities, but Victor Gyökeres was unsuccessful, and Bernd Leno made some crucial saves. A penalty initially awarded to Arsenal was overturned by VAR, but Trossard's goal proved decisive, with the defense securing their fifth clean sheet of the season.

Manager Mikel Arteta praised his team's resilience and fighting spirit, emphasizing the importance of winning at a challenging venue. Fulham's struggles continue with a third consecutive loss, leaving them 14th in the standings, while Arsenal remains a strong contender for the title.
