IT'S NOT BEEN FULHAM'S AFTERNOON
ARSENAL CHANCE
Jesus almost makes it happen. He's played in on goal by Vieira but can't fire his shot beyond Leno.
Jesus then beats the floor in frustration.
CAN THE GUNNERS CAP A PERFECT DAY WITH A GOAL FOR JESUS?

FULHAM CHANCES
Ramsdale gets down low to push away De Cordova-Reid's rasping drive. Fulham go close again from an ensuing corner as Tosin smacks the bar with a thumping header.
ARSENAL ATTEMPT
It's poetry in motion as another sublime Gunners move ends with Xhaka back heeling for Martinelli to let fly with a goal-bound shot that deflects wide!
ONE OF THE SIGNINGS OF THE SEASON?
He certainly has a shout for a January acquisition.
STAT: Trossard is the first Arsenal player to provide three assists in a Premier League game since Henrikh Mkhitaryan against Everton in February 2018.
AS IT STANDS
Arsenal will again move five points clear of Man City at the top of the PL table.
Fulham will stay eighth.
