Arsenal tightened their grip on the Premier League title race with an emphatic victory over Fulham at the Emirates Stadium. The hosts blew their opponents away in the first half, scoring three unanswered goals before the break to underline their authority at the top of the table.

This latest triumph sees Arsenal move six points clear of Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola’s side still have two games in hand—keeping the title narrative finely poised heading into the final stretch of the season.

The standout performers were Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyökeres, whose on-field chemistry proved too much for Fulham to handle. First, Saka turned provider, setting up the Swedish striker with a precise assist. Moments later, the roles were reversed, as Gyökeres teed up Saka, who fired clinically into the near corner.

Before halftime, Viktor Gyökeres struck again, powering home a header to complete his brace and effectively end the contest. After the interval, Arsenal remained in complete control and threatened to extend their lead further, with Riccardo Calafiori coming closest after rattling the crossbar.
