Fulham 1-1 Arsenal - 3 takeaways as Gunners' momentum stalls
By Adam Schultz
Arsenal was held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham, seeing the Gunners' recent momentum stall.
Arsenal has seen its good momentum stall after having to settle for a 1-1 draw against Fulham in a game where if Gabriel Martinelli stays onside in the game's dying stages, the Gunners likely win.
After being hit with an early Fulham blow to the jaw, the Gunners steadied and were on the front foot in search of the equalizer, which came in the second half thanks to William Saliba's tap-in from Kai Havertz's header...from a corner yet again.
Despite the Gunners huffing and puffing, they had to settle for a point...if only Martinelli remained onside.
Here are three takeaways from Arsenal's draw at Craven Cottage.
Set Piece FC strikes again
Not your conventional corner piece, but Havertz ghosted in at the back post to head back across goal to find Saliba jogging on the spot, and the Frenchman tapped in from close range.
With the Gunners now providing some serious venom from set-pieces, it is an avenue Mikel Arteta will want to continue to go down until their open-play jitters get resolved.
It doesn't matter how you score, as long as you score.
