Premier League: Arsenal dominates Fulham but loses a key player
Arsenal secured a valuable victory against Fulham (2-1) on Tuesday night in the Premier League, but lost Gabriel Magalhães to injury just days before the clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
While the return of Bukayo Saka, who scored in his first match after a long absence, delighted the fans, the early departure of Gabriel Magalhães in the first half concerns Mikel Arteta. The extent of his injury is yet to be determined, but his presence against Real Madrid on Tuesday seems doubtful.
On the field, the Gunners ensured the essentials with a goal from Mikel Merino, assisted by Ethan Nwaneri, and a strike from Saka on a pass from Gabriel Martinelli after a cross from Trossard. Despite a late goal from Muniz, Arsenal managed to hold their advantage and secure three important points ahead of their major European challenge.
