Fulham 0-1 Arsenal result – Leandro Trossard’s second-half winner at Craven Cottage sends The Gunners three points clear at the Premier League summit

Leandro Trossard grabbed the winner as Arsenal moved three points clear at the Premier League summit courtesy of a 1-0 victory at Fulham.

Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice both went close in a cagey first half of few openings, while Riccardo Calafiori had a wonder-strike ruled out for offside.

Arsenal intensified their pressure following the restart and broke the deadlock just shy of the hour when Gabriel flicked on a right-wing corner for Trossard to touch in from close range.

Fulham huffed and puffed without ever looking like finding an equaliser as Marco Silva’s men suffered a third straight league loss.

The result means Mikel Arteta’s men are three points ahead of second-place Manchester City, although champions Liverpool could cut the gap back down to one point if they win at home to Manchester United on Sunday.

Next up, 14th-placed Fulham visit Newcastle on Saturday, while Arsenal host Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday before welcoming Crystal Palace to Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

"It’s certainly been a hard-fought performance and victory, they’ve had to work for everything out there because Fulham have been right at it," said the Arsenal legend on Sky Sports.

Asked about a star performer, he added: "Arsenal have had a few, Gabriel at the back…

"But Bukayo Saka is the one who took the game to Fulham; a very strong performance."

Fulham 0-1 Arsenal.

Gyokeres off, Norgaard on.

Gyokeres spins his man on the right side of the box but is thwarted by Leno, who gets back up to block Martinelli's follow-up too.

Excellent goalkeeping by the former Arsenal man.

Arsenal remain in control, gently probing without going for the jugular.

Nine minutes will be added.

Still hope for Fulham, but they need to find a spark they've lacked all night long now.

The home faithful are urging their side to give it one late push but The Gunners have been far more dangerous and could easily have added a second with greater care with the final pass.

There may only be one goal in it but the visitors have continued to boss this game despite some huffing and puffing from Silva's side.

Bassey on for Cuenca.

Traore on for Wilson.

Martinelli on for Trossard.

Gyokeres battles for a bouncing ball from Trossard's scooped pass forward, rolls his man but then lashes high, wide and not so handsome.

Mikel Arteta’s men will move three points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, although champions Liverpool could cut the gap back down to one point if they win at home to Manchester United on Sunday.

Fulham would lose a third straight game and sit 14th.

But will it pave a path to the three points?

Arteta is not impressed either.

Looked like a clear touch on the ball, mind you. It took a while, but the officials seem to have got that right.

The VAR eventually asks the referee to consult the pitch-side monitor.

Taylor looks at it for a LONG time and finally decides Keinv touched the ball first.

Saka jinks inside again and is tumbled by Kevin just inside the area.

The referee stuns the home players as he points to the spot.

Replays suggest there is a clear touch on the ball from the Fulham sub.

VAR is checking....
