'Such a privilege' - Arteta on celebrating his 100th match as Arsenal manager

Arsenal look to continue their winning run as they take on Fulham in Saturday’s late Premier League kick off. The Gunners are the only team left in the league with a 100 per cent winning record after wins against Crystal Palace, Leicester and Bournemouth. They sit top of the table - before today’s 3pm kick offs - and look in incredible touch this year.

Gabriel Jesus has been instrumental to their fast start and the confidence Mikel Arteta’s side have been playing with so far is running all through the team. The Brazilian scored twice in his home debut over Leicester and will look to be on target again against the newly-promoted side.

For their part, Fulham have also made a good start to life back in the Premier League. After draws against Liverpool and Wolves, Marco Silva’s side got their first victory with a last-minute Aleksandr Mitrovic winner against Brentford last weekend though they did suffer a setback in midweek by being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two’s Crawley.

Follow all the action from the Emirates stadium as Arsenal host Fulham in the Premier League:

Arsenal 1-1 Fulham

69 mins: Chances! Aleksandar Mitrovic and Fulham are now the ones in the ascendancy. The forward is getting plenty of crosses and is clambering all over the Arsenal defence.

Three times now he’s won aerial balls but none have found the target.

We’ve got a real contest on.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Fulham (64’, Odegaard)⚽️

64 mins: Martin Odegaard equalises for Arsenal! Bukayo Saka drives up the right side of the pitch before darting into the box and laying the ball off to Odegaard.

The Arsenal captain rolls the ball onto his left foot and shoots. Leno seemingly has it covered but the effort deflects off Tosin Adarabioyo and wrong foots the keeper before nestling into the back of the net.

Arsenal 0-1 Fulham

63 mins: Ben White feeds the ball into the box for Jesus who’s cross is blocked by Ream and then cleared by Robinson. Arsenal are continuing to push high up the pitch.

Eddie Nketiah is getting himself into decent areas.

Arsenal 0-1 Fulham

60 mins: Mikel Arteta is calling on reinforcements and has pulle Eddie Nketiah off the bench. The forward receives some last minute instructions before he comes on to replace Kieran Tierney.

GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Fulham (56’, Mitrovic)⚽️

56 mins: Fulham lead! Awful mistake from Gabriel.

It’s a shocker from the Arsenal defender who brings a cross field pass under control and dallies on the ball. Aleksandar Mitrovic sprints over to him, knocks him off the ball and just has Aaron Ramsdale to beat.

Mitrovic looks to the right then sends his effort straight into the far bottom corner and Fulham take a surprising second half lead.

Arsenal 0-0 Fulham

55 mins: Save! Martinelli finds Odegaard right in front of goal but a long way out. He shifts inside of Robinson and blasts one at goal, there’s swerve on the ball but Leno leaps over to his left and pushes the effort away!

Great save from the Fulham keeper but Arsenal are turning up the heat.

Arsenal 0-0 Fulham

53 mins: Antonee Robinson collects a yellow card for a lunging tackle over to the right side of the Fulham box and Arsenal have a free kick.

Odegaard swings it into the middle and after a deflection it bounces down to Martinelli who shoots on the turn and sees his effort blocked.

Michael Jones27 August 2022 18:40

Arsenal 0-0 Fulham

51 mins: Odegaard guides the ball over to Saka on the right wing but he’s dispossessed by Robinson who turns the ball out of play.

Arsenal’s throw in results in Jesus crossing one into the back post but Martinelli’s header loops up for Leno to cling onto.

Michael Jones27 August 2022 18:37

Arsenal 0-0 Fulham

48 mins: William Saliba fouls Aleksandar Mitrovic by catching the heel of the Fulham striker. Mitrovic stays down and the referee has a word with the Arsenal defender.

No further punishment is required but Mitrovic needs looking at from the medical staff.

Second half: Arsenal 0-0 Fulham

Kick off: What can the Gunners conjure in the second half of this match? They’ve been on fire in front of goal so far this year and have some work to do to get in front here.

The home side get the match restarted.
