London Derby: Arsenal were forced to settle for a point in a gritty London derby against Fulham, with William Saliba’s second-half equaliser salvaging a draw after Raul Jimenez's first-half strike had given the hosts the lead at the Craven Cottage.

The game unfolded in difficult conditions, with heavy rain and swirling winds affecting play throughout. Arsenal dominated possession early on, pushing Fulham back into their half and creating several corners. However, it was Fulham who struck first with their very first attack of the match. A swift counter saw Kenny Tete release Jimenez, who raced past Jakub Kiwior and slotted the ball into the bottom corner, leaving David Raya with no chance.

Despite the early setback, Arsenal responded well, continuing to control possession but struggling to break down Fulham’s resolute defence. Bernd Leno, one of three former Gunners in the Fulham lineup, was alert to deny Bukayo Saka’s inswinging corner, while Declan Rice saw his powerful shot from outside the box drift wide.
