It might as well have been 5-0 at half-time if Gabriel Martinelli’s first goal hadn’t been disallowed for a few centimeters offside – and if Nati captain Granit Xhaka had used his huge chance alone in front of goal.
At half-time it was “only” 3-0 for Arsenal against an overwhelmed Fulham. In the end, that is the end result – because Mikel Arteta’s team switches back after the half change.
Nevertheless: it is a real demonstration of power from the north Londoners, who confidently maintain their five-point lead over pursuers Manchester City thanks to the sovereign victory. Gabriel (21st), Martinelli (26th) and Odegaard (47th) scored.
Strong xhaka helps
Xhaka always has both feet in the game in the Gunners’ offensive spectacle. Martinelli’s offside goal is preceded by a dream pass from Xhaka. He then also initiates the 2-0 by nicely serving an assist from Leandro Trossard.
The only downside to his performance: the 100% he gave in the 36th minute when he put the ball too far. But the resident of Basel could live with that afterwards. Eleven rounds before the end of the season, Arsenal underlined their championship ambitions with another calm, at times commanding, performance. (mpe)
