3. Blistering first-half sets up win

The Gunners were unplayable in the first half against Fulham. Playing away from home is always tricky, but Arsenal efficiently dealt with the hosts.

After VAR ruled out Arsenal’s first “goal,” Arteta’s side clicked into gear and slammed home three goals to close out the half.

The home side couldn’t live with Arsenal’s pace and quick passing, and the third goal just before halftime virtually ended the game as a contest.

A brilliant 45 minutes set up the win.
