Arsenal 2-2 Fulham: Gunners drop points to 10 man Fulham after Joao Palhinha scores late volley

An 87th MINUTE Joao Palhinha volley gave Fulham a share of the spoils away at Arsenal at the Emirates today.

The cottagers had raced into a first minute lead when Andreas Perreira attempted to chip an out of position Aaron Ramsdale from 25 yards and managed to wrong foot the keeper.

Fulham dug in to defend their lead and Arsenal had the majority of the chances throughout the first half and opening stages of the second.

Their relentless pressure eventually told in the 76th minute when Kenny Tete gave away a needless penalty on Fabio Vieira.

Saka, who had not taken Arsenal’s spot kick in their previous match against Fulham stepped up to slot the ball into the bottom right corner.

Arsenal then took the lead in the 72nd minute when Eddie Nketiah continued his excellent form to finish off a smart Arsenal move.

The Gunners looked like they would cruise to victory after Fulham defender Calvin Bassey was sent off in the 83rd minute.

But there was a sting in the tail, when a Fulham team rejuvenated by the subs of Adama Traore and Tom Cairney capitalised on a corner for Joao Palhinha to volley home in the 87th minute.

Arsenal searched for a winner in stoppage time to no avail and will be disappointed to drop points to the 10 man side.
