Arsenal breezed past Fulham in what proved to be their best performance of the season so far as Unai Emery's side stretched their run of consecutive victories to nine in all competitions.

Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoring in the first half with a neat finish from close range, and although Fulham's Andre Schurrle was able to peg the visitors back just before half-time, the Frenchman added a second soon after the second half began.

Aaron Ramsey then finished a beautiful move that will be in the running for goal of the season as a deft backheel added the third, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came off the bench to score a double of his own to seal the rout. Re-live the live action below.

It’s a big game for…

Aleksandar Mitrovic: The Serb started the Everton game well but became increasingly frustrated with the lack of service and connection with the midfield. The former Newcastle man will be confident of fashioning opportunities for himself at the weekend against Shkodran Mustafi, but he will need to show greater impact throughout the game if Fulham are to emerge victorious for the first time in over a month.

Weird /best stat…

51.3: Arsenal have the best win rate in Premier League London derbies, with wins in 51.3% of such matches. They face the team with the worst ratio in such fixtures, with Fulham recording wins in just 20.8% of these encounters.

Remember when…

Lukas Podolski became something of a cult hero during his time at Arsenal, but that assessment somewhat does a disservice to his incredible finishing prowess. This double against the Cottagers was just one example of the typical Podolski strikes that fans all over the world became accustomed to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIIJhpVHuDY

Player to watch…

Bernd Leno: The German goalkeeper has finally got his chance to impress following a hamstring injury to Petr Cech in the first half against Watford and he seems to have grasped it with both hands. He looked assured when he replaced the Czech and pulled off a fantastic save to deny Troy Deeney, before putting in another impressive display against Qarabag in midweek.

A bumper day of Premier League action for your viewing pleasure, and it all starts with a London derby at Craven Cottage. 

Paul Tierney blows his whistle and Luciano Vietto gets the game underway.

1 minute

It does appear to be a 3-4-3 from the home side. Alex Iwobi is the man behind Alexandre Lacazette in Arsenal's 4-2-3-1.

2 minutes

Great save!

Good pressing from Ryan Sessegnon forces an errant pass which Luciano Vietto swoops upon. His deflected shot somewhat wrong-foots Bernd Leno and the German does well to redirect and palm away the goal-bound effort.

4 minutes

High pressing from Fulham, and Arsenal's defence don't look entirely comfortable trying to play out from the back.

A bright start from the hosts.

[7 October 2018 12:07 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

5 minutes

A diagonal ball evades both Andre Schurrle and Ryan Sessegnon and Bernd Leno is able to use the wet turf to slide across and gather.

[7 October 2018 12:08 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

6 minutes

A clever exchange of passes down the left frees Alex Iwobi, who is well-found by Granit Xhaka. His square ball nearly finds Henrikh Mkhitaryan but Fulham clear and can break...

Aleksandar Mitrovic's attempted stab at goal is deflected wide. Another corner.

7 minutes

Calmly cleared by Arsenal, and Denis Odoi has to bring down Lucas Torreira as the visitors look to get forward.

Arsenal free-kick on halfway.

8 minutes

Both sides stroking the ball around the damp surface confidently. A lively tempo to the game in these early stages.

[7 October 2018 12:11 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

9 minutes

Alexandre Lacazette goes down after Aleksandar Mitrovic treads on the Frenchman's ankle. He's grimacing as he gets up but it appears no serious damage has been done.

10 minutes

Luciano Vietto is on the right of Fulham's front-three. The Atletico Madrid loanee is buzzing about and does well to win the ball back in the Arsenal half, but Fulham can't profit.
