Arsenal lost bitter points against Fulham despite having more players

Despite leading and playing with an extra man at the end of the match against Fulham, Arsenal were still bitterly tied 2-2 by their opponents.

Less than a minute after the opening whistle, the Emirates Stadium was stunned by the unexpected goal of the visiting team Fulham. Bukayo Saka carelessly passed the ball back, Andreas Pereira seized the opportunity to shoot past goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from a distance of more than 20 meters.

In the 41st minute, Martin Odegaard scored a goal against Fulham and the stands exploded. Unfortunately, Arsenal's celebration was cut short because the referee determined that Kai Havertz was offside before passing the ball to his teammate to finish.

It wasn't until midway through the second half that the Emirates Stadium really opened up. Arsenal scored two goals in just three minutes from 70 to 72 to take the lead over Fulham.

Bukayo Saka equalized 1-1 with a precise penalty kick, after Fabio Vieira was fouled by Tete in the box. Eddie Nketiah rushed in to make it 2-1 from Fabio Vieira's left-wing cross.

Fulham's troubles were compounded when they were reduced to 10 men in the 82nd minute. Defender Calvin Bassey fouled Eddie Nketiah, received a second yellow card and was sent off.

Fulham, short of players, unexpectedly ruined Arsenal's home party. Joao Palhinha shot past goalkeeper Ramsdale after a corner kick in the 87th minute, sealing a 2-2 draw.

With this result, Arsenal temporarily ranked second in the Premier League table with the same 7 points as Tottenham but with a lower secondary index. However, coach Mikel Arteta's team is at risk of being 2 points behind defending champions Man City after this round.
