Arsenal hosted Fulham on New Year’s Day looking to right the wrongs from the 5-1 defeat to Liverpool. Here are the player ratings from the 4-1 victory.

In a strange game, Arsenal put together one of the most unconvincing 4-1 wins that I have seen perhaps in my entire life. Shaky defending, somewhat blunt attacking, other than a few key moments, and a lack of control and security in the midfield, when Fulham arrived at the Emirates, I am sure they could only have hoped for a match like they had. Only, the goals did not go in their favour.
