    Yeah, that was quite comical. I don't know what their defense was doing.

    Was going to say Auba is having one of those regression to xG games, but he scored.

    Yeah. Funny thing about those pesky humans... they don't always follow the numbers.

    NOW they're in control. Fulham simply collapsing defensively and Auba gets his goal.

    Thankfully Sokratis is up and walking off that knock.

    Come on boys! Don't coast too much. One more for Goal Difference! (i.e. erase the damage done at Anfield in this respect)

    Whoever thought that Fulham could be a good Premier League side with Tim Ream as a regular starter in defense should be fired and permanently banned from the sport.

    And if I had to give a youngster MOTM it would be AMN. He had a very consistent and valuable game today. He's on a bit of a roll. Great to see.

    FT 4-1. I'll take it! Onward

    4-1 to the Gunners. Fulham is not so good. Vital 3 points

    I don't know what to make of AMN. He has what it takes to be a good wingback, but he needs developing. It will be interesting to see what he does.

    Chelsea and man city away in next five...
    Desperately need to get better on wings and in the back
    If we continue to have Iwobi sole creator ... we will be in 6th place within weeks

    Niles didn’t do anything special
    Iwobi was by far best player on the pitch

    Not sure what game you watched

    Disagree. Both were very good, along w/ Guen.

    Also I'm not a big fan of hyperbolic posts or put downs.

    Carry on as you will.

    AMN should have been MOTM (or Iwobi).

    It’s not a put down but niles was nothing special
    Kola (with his brain fart in the goal) offered more on wing play than niles

    I think he's been up and down this season, which is normal for most young players. The last two have been very good, so hopefully his current form continues.

    Even though that one wasn't called, Torreira must be high on the most fouled player list.

    So has bellerin, holding, xhaka and even auba/laca look better

    He’s a better coach

    Took my son to his first ever Arsenal match and finally broke my string of witnessing a bunch of draws. As for the match itself, sloppy first half, lucky to be up, but despite their goal, I thought we were clearly better in the second half. And while our defenders switched off when they shouldn't have, no one can convince me that Torreira wasn't fouled on the lead up to Fulham's goal. Clattered through his back with no call -- ridiculous. Oliver would've awarded Salah two penalties for that.
