EPL: Arsenal thrash Fulham 3-0 to boost title hopes

Arsenal delivered a commanding performance to defeat Fulham 3–0 in the Premier League, strengthening their push for the title on Saturday.

The hosts took full control early at the Emirates Stadium, with Viktor Gyökeres opening the scoring inside the first 10 minutes after a setup from Bukayo Saka.

Saka then doubled the lead himself before Gyökeres struck again with a header just before halftime, completing a dominant first-half display.

Arsenal entered the break 3–0 up, effectively deciding the contest.

The second half saw a more controlled approach from the home side, who maintained possession and limited Fulham’s chances, with the visitors managing only minimal attacking threat.

The result keeps Arsenal firmly at the top of the table as they continue their pursuit of a first Premier League title in over two decades.

With rivals, Manchester City, still in contention, goal difference and consistency in the final matches could prove decisive.

The win also provides a timely boost ahead of their upcoming Tuesday’s European semi-final second leg fixture against Atletico Madrid at the Emirates.
