HIGHLIGHTS | Arsenal vs Fulham (2-2) | Saka, Nketiah

A late equaliser saw 10-man Fulham claim a 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium, after we had fought back from a goal down to get ourselves in front.
The topsy-turvy affair started when Andreas Pereira stunned the home crowd when he netted within the first minute, but a second-half fightback saw Bukayo Saka score from the spot, and two minutes later Eddie Nketiah tucked home a Fabio Vieira cross to turn the game on its head.
Calvin Bassey was then dismissed for the Cottagers, but they still managed to hit back through Joao Palhinha with just four minutes remaining.
Things started in the worst possible fashion when after just 57 seconds, we fell behind. A loose pass by Saka was pounced upon by Pereira, and the Brazilian surprised Aaron Ramsdale by shooting first-time from 25 yards and seeing the ball curl into the net via the near post.
It took us some time to recover from that setback, and we mustered just a tame Gabriel Martinelli attempt before we nearly fell two goals behind.
With the ball bouncing inside our arena Raul Jimenez produced an acrobatic effort to hook the ball goalwards and saw it drop just the right side of the post from a home perspective, before Harry Wilson drilled wide soon after as Fulham continued to pose problems.
As the weather turned from a sunny summer’s day to torrential rain, the visitors soon found themselves soaking up plenty of pressure as we slowly found our rhythm. Saka saw a downward header from close range clear the crossbar before Leno shovelled a Martinelli drive around the near post, and then the Brazilian shot tamely at him again as our search for an equaliser continued.
We thought it had arrived when Havertz seemed to have sprung the offside trap and teed up Martin Odegaard to fire into the bottom corner but the offside flag rightly halted our celebrations, before the skipper tried his luck from further out but Leno did well to catch as the thunder and lightning greeting the half-time whistle.
The second 45 began with Bobby DeCordova-Reid bending a shot just wide of the far post, and soon after Arteta shuffled his pack by introducing Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabio Vieira, having also thrown on Nketiah at the break.
From that point onwards, we looked much more menacing in attack with Odegaard twice twisting and turning in trademark fashion to get shots away but without causing Leno too many difficulties as we ramped up the pressure.
And midway through the second half, Fulham finally cracked as we netted two goals in two minutes. Martinelli trickled a pass through for Vieira to run onto inside the box, and he was felled by a sliding tackle by Kenny Tete to hand us the chance to equalise from 12 yards. Unlike at Crystal Palace on Monday night, Saka opted to take it and despite a long delay, he kept his cool to send Leno the wrong way.
Moments later, things got even better when Odegaard won the ball back high up the pitch and Saka produced a delicious pass out to Vieira, whose inch-perfect centre was tucked home by Nketiah to elicit a roar from the Emirates Stadium crowd louder than the thunder clapping around north London.
As the visitors attempted to respond, their efforts were made harder on 84 minutes when Bassey was sent off for a second bookable offence after blocking off Nketiah as we attempted to counter, but three minutes later they managed to pull level again.
After winning a corner, the 10 men regrouped and Harrison Reed’s delivery found Palhinha in space, and he struck the ball past the despairing dive of Ramsdale to equalise against the odds.
Nine minutes of stoppage-time were added but the hosts nearly snatched it when Adama Traore raced through to go one-on-one with Ramsdale but our shot-stopper stayed big and managed to block the effort to deny Fulham their first-ever away win at our expense.
And in the final seconds, Leno had to tip over a fierce Vieira shot from the edge of the area to ensure a pulsating game ended level.

We had one of the, if not, THE best CB pairing in the PL last season. This season, for some odd reason, we've tried 3 different backlines so far and the performances have all been shaky despite a relatively "easy" start to the season.

Are the other teams just going to wait for us until we are done with adjusting? Arteta's mistake is forgetting how ruthless the EPL can be if you drop off for even a second. Look at what happened to Liverpool after losing the title on the last day. The Premier League no longer respects teams with big names, or past achievements. Every team will play you as if they can get a result. And if you're not careful, you could go from Champions League to 12th place, or losing the title on the last day to Europa League. We must learn from this result, and the difficulty of the two previous games.

We need to direct our shots to score so much boys.

i miss Xhaka already

[@revaldyadithya5677]

martineli, zichenko, viera very good trio

[@ramahbk-alba8196]

Ramsdale is costing us games.. give Raya a chance

[@asdf7245]

Arteta is costing us games right now, not Ramsdale.

[@Juicerock12]

@@asdf7245Ramsdale was at fault(and Saka ofc) for the first goal why was he up that high the first minute🤦‍♂️

[@AungTun-z9u]

The obvious difference between Guardiola and Arteta is... Guardiola tries to construct every position of players to be the best with more goal scoring threats (high chances for the players to become the best at one position with high consistency)... Arteta tries to construct every player to play for more positions so as not to lose the match (low chances for the players to become the best at one position with low consistency.) Those are the problems of maturity, intelligence, and selfishness among the managers.

[@brycewilliams653]

Why is Zinchenko not starting?!

[@123Woo-u8z]

Because his crap

[@dannyk2376]

I can’t remember a single game that we’ve looked free flowing in with Partey at RB. It. Does. Not. Work. We have the players available now to recreate the system from last season (Rice for Xhaka), we need to stop overthinking it.

[@asdf7245]

White, Partey and Gabriel was outstanding last season, why remove that? Martin, Saka and White had great synergy. Now gone. Gabriel and Saliba had an amazing partnership. Now gone. If Kai was a superstar I could understand trying to force him in but the guy hasn't performed in 3 years and couldn't stand out in a team who finshed 12th. You could ease him in without throwing away points.... Not fair to him either. Why are we destroying everything we built?

[@katojoash8259]

I respect our coach arteta and what he is doing. I no he knows football morethan us all.

[@GB-fk7eq]

At this moment, Havertz does not start in our best XI. Starting to worry Arteta may choose to die on this hill as he did with Willian. Can only hope Havertz starts to show what Arteta believes he can

[@tnewman0_0]

Please swap havertz for Gabriel

[@ultraslanmc]

A midfield for a defender?

[@emmanuelajibola4935]

The stakes are high this season and I hope we don't remember these 2 points dropped yesterday.

[@velvaka]

What an assist by Saka what a player future balondor winner 😱😱😱

[@taliamar8115]

its great practise for saka if he ever takes another penalty for england

[@mamangmainan6893]

Fabio Vieira was amazing today!

[@rohanraju8647]

Need to work on our defense. Glad we got a point

[@rancu5720]

Too much variation of position for each players is destruction. We lack of steel without gabriel,

[@5choice874]

why is it that every time arsenal excels it slows down the tempo and is not eager to score again and kill the game, there is no pressing, the bait is defended by itself when a new goal is conceded, the tempo of the game rises, hoping to be able to return goals again, if Arsenal play like this until the end of the season I won't optimistic big 4 again. and i miss granite xhaka so much

[@luxurycondosingapore7152]

It has become so obvious to all Arsenal fans that the mentality of trying to hang on to the 1 goal lead have cost Arsenal over and over again. Why always drop the intensity and switched off just because you are leading by one goal?? It always came back to haunt you!

[@dipson5722]

That shows the kind of mentality they have, and why they are not on city's level yet. City are ruthless, unforgiving, and persistent even when they have one or two goals lead, and that is the stuff of champions.

[@BungleTheGooner]

Mikel needs to give his head a wobble. This experimental system bilge was what pre season is supposed to be for, not a surprise to all in GW1-3…

[@philipdavid8026]

Vieira you gave me hope 😢😢

[@emmanuelonyekwere59]

Viera's assist for the second goal was top top quality

[@rusty3238]

Vieira*

[@behzadnabi]

Why isn't Arteta starting Gabriel with Saliba? It's literally the defensive foundation that allowed the rest of the team to flourish

[@beautifulplaces8364]

I don't understand how Arsenal will surrender a 2 -1 comeback lead. Poor game management

[@d.soboma733]

I think fabio Vira should be gradually introduced. 10 to 30 minutes in a game won't be bad.

[@ianmaxlm]

that ball from fabio couldn't have been any better, and he makes it look too easy

[@kimutaku2046hk]

Arsenal needs a game plan when slowing down. It is very clear the defense melted easily by one fast counter attack as shown in pre-season games. Conceding goals are bad, but it is worse you cannot turn over.

[@gordonfreeman9733]

90% of the match we were as pathetic as a team can be. I thought Havertz was brought to strengthen us, not fckn break the whole system. Draw is the most fair result for yesterday.
