It took Mikel Arteta’s men 70 minutes to carved Fulham’s defenses, when Bukayo Saka’s penalty cancelled out Wilson’s opener.

Only 2 minutes later Arsenal were ahead through Eddie Nkietiah, who looked to have secured the 3 points for his team.

Things got even brighter for Arsenal as their opponent was reduced to 10 men in the 83rd minute after Calvin Bassey received a second yellow.

However, against all odds Fulham were able to pull themselves together and score late in the game to draw the game level at 2-2 and to silence once again the home supporters.

Arsenal gave it all, but were unable to find a winner and had to settle for the single point.
