**London, England** – Arsenal’s Premier League title aspirations suffered a setback after a frustrating 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday. The Gunners, who had a chance to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool to four points following Liverpool’s postponed match against Everton, were thwarted by a resolute Fulham side.
Arsenal dominated much of the game but were caught off guard in the first half when Raul Jimenez scored a superb goal, capitalizing on a defensive lapse. While Arsenal pressed for an equalizer, Fulham’s defense held firm. William Saliba eventually leveled the score early in the second half, converting a deflected header from a corner kick.
Late drama ensued as Bukayo Saka believed he had snatched a last-minute winner, only for VAR to overturn the goal due to an offside in the build-up. The draw leaves Arsenal two points behind the league leaders, highlighting the difficulties of their title challenge. The result ends Arsenal’s four-game winning streak.
