Arsenal defeats Fulham 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Gabriel Magalhaes,
making up for an earlier error.
Gabriel Magalhaes scored a late triumph after his error gave Fulham the lead as the Gunners won four straight games to recover the league’s top spot. Martin Odegaard equalised for Mikel Arteta’s club.
However,
after the superb Martin Odegaard had equalised for the Gunners with a deflected shot off of Bukayo Saka’s pass (64),
the Arsenal center-back poked home from a short distance when former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno mishandled a corner (85).
When Arsenal applied pressure at a joyful Emirates Stadium,
Gabriel‘s goal sent them back to the top of the Premier League. Up until that point,
Fulham had displayed incredible fortitude,
with Leno making a series of saves to save his former team from winning while the hosts dominated.

Mikel Arteta praises Arsenal’s
“attitude and mentality”
to secure a comeback victory over Fulham on his 100th game, but he refuses to engage in title discussion despite the team being top of the table.

On Saturday night at the Emirates,
Arsenal overcame a deficit to defeat Fulham 2-1.
Aleksander Mitrovic’s goal was cancelled out by a Martin Odegaard goal,
and Gabriel then made up for an earlier error by scoring the game-winning goal. Arteta hailed the team’s resolute performance as a “huge lift.”
I’m incredibly pleased with the effort, the team’s attitude,
and its philosophy.
“We had the upper hand.” Being patient was important because we deserved the goal to materialise,
but we also needed to watch out for errors. Despite Arsenal’s stellar start to the season (four wins, no losses, top of the league),
Arteta refused to entertain thoughts of a title push. He responded, “No, it’s only the beginning of a long season,” when asked about it. We must have both humility and hunger.
On Saturday, Gabriel,
a defender for Arsenal,
atoned for a mistake on defence by scoring a late winner to secure a 2-1 victory over Fulham and keep the Gunners’ unblemished record in the English Premier League.
Gabriel scored from close range from a corner in the 86th minute to complete the comeback for Arsenal after giving Fulham the lead in the second half.
When Gabriel dallied with the ball in his own area in the 56th minute,
Fulham unexpectedly took the lead. Aleksandar Mitrovic of Fulham stole the ball off the Brazilian and beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with a low shot inside the far post.

The first-half goalkeeper Leno’s best save came when Bukayo Saka raced through on goal but saw his shot parried by the advancing keeper.
