Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka had set Arsenal on their way with his fourth goal of the season. Fulham paid dearly for that miss in the 25th minute as Arsenal exposed the defensive frailties that have blighted their season. The midfielder had all the time he needed to control the ball and poke it past Fulham goalkeeper Sergio Rico. The defender unselfishly squared for Lacazette to hit the ball past Rico from ten yards. Matteo Guendouzi and Kolasinac opened Fulham up down the left, Aubameyang smacked Kolasinac’s low cross against the post and the rebound fell to Ramsey, who shot high past Rico’s left hand.
