Fulham v Arsenal live: Premier League latest as Bukayo Saka denied late winner by VAR as Mikel Arteta's title hopefuls held to derby draw at Craven Cottage

Bukayo Saka was denied a late winner as Arsenal's Premier League title hopes suffered a blow in a 1-1 draw with London rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The home side moved ahead with their only real attack of the first half when Raul Jimenez slammed home on 11 minutes from a Kenny Tete pass to earn an unlikely lead at half-time.

Arsenal were the dominant force for most of the match and equalised via William Saliba's close-range finish on 52 minutes via a corner, but could not find the winner with Saka seeing his 88th-minute header ruled out by VAR after sub Gabriel Martinelli was deemed to be offside before delivering the cross for the England winger to convert.

Rice is booked for a late tug on Berge's shirt before Fulham go long. And that will do us for the day. It ends 1-1 at rain-soaked Craven Cottage.

But this time Rice overcooks the pace on the delivery, and it flies straight out of play. Looks like a 1-1 draw unless there is more late drama.

The Fulham fans taunting the visiting masses with a chorus of..'you're not singing anymore'....tough old school at the elite level when VAR gets involved.

Martinelli deemed to be offside in the build-up to the goal. That is so harsh for Arsenal.

And there is the winner surely! Saka with the close-range header in the final two minutes in front of the visiting fans. Martinelli with the cross to the back post. Over head of Robinson and Saka arrives on blind side to nod home.

Driving that ball into the back post with some menace. Plenty of dip and pace on the ball, but no takers on hard to convert. It remains 1-1 in final four minutes of regulation play.

Does well to stand that ball up, but Leno is first to the cross in the winds and rain. Robinson booked for chopping down Saka.

But Bassey showing his quality to get the legs working and make the vital challenge. Fulham can regroup in their low block.

The home side have worked ever so hard to reach this stage all square before Martinelli is booked for an ill-advised spot of dissent.

Raul Jimenez taking his time to depart the action and is booked for wasting time before he makes way for Rodrigo Muniz.

Will they be playing for more corners in the closing moments as Rice slams a deflected shot at goal that is held well by Leno.

Mikel Merino replaces Jorginho with Gabriel Jesus on for Kai Havert as Gunners chase a late winner.

Calvin Bassey has been yellow carded for a late one on Kai Havertz seconds after a Fulham break saw Raya save from the Andreas Pereira effort.

Decent spot of defending to clear the Odegaard cross with Robinsin nodding away under pressure from Saka. Bassey mops up afterwards.

Rice comes over to deliver the set-piece. Six Arsenal players in the Fulham box, but Partey nods wide from five yards. That was a golden chance! Should be a 2-1 lead.

The Gunners obviously work tremendously hard on taking corners. And it pays off just when they need it most. 1-1 on 67 minutes with Rice back in his own box to make a clearing header.

The rain tumbling down amid some swirling rain, but Arsenal continue on the attack with Havertz seeing a shot squirm a yard or two wide.

Andreas Pereira replaces Emile Smith Rowe with Harry Wilson on for Adama Traoré. Gabriel Martinelli takes over from Leandro Trossard for visitors.

Harry Wilson getting ready to arrive for Marco Silva's side with Tete making a strong challenge on Trossard to halt the prospective cross.
