Fulham vs Arsenal
Trossard registered a hat-trick of first-half assists to help Arsenal secure a comfortable victory over Fulham. VAR denied Arteta's side the lead when Robinson scored an own goal on 16 minutes, with Martinelli in an offside position in the build-up. However, moments after being denied the opener, Gabriel powered in Trossard's corner to break Fulham's resolve. Martinelli then added a second with a downward header, before Odegaard found a third moments before the break. He controlled Trossard's cross from the left before lashing his effort into the bottom corner. Fulham were better after the break and could have scored a consolation through Mitrovic, but the striker rattled the bar with a header. Jesus then went close to scoring on his return but struck his shot straight at Leno.
