The Emirates was left stunned after only 1 minute of play, when Harry Wilson opened the scoring with a fine finish and gave the away team 1-0 advantage.
The Gunners struggled to find a way through as the away team proved rock-solid in defense.
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.
