Arsenal defeated Fulham in the Premier League as Mikel Arteta's side looks to build confidence heading into the Champions League quarterfinals next week.
Marco Silva set Fulham up to frustrate Arsenal in attack with five at the back and four in midfield. Arsenal struggled to break the lines for most of the first half until Jurrien Timber and Ethan Nwaneri connected on the right flank. Nwaneri found Mikel Merino in the box, the Spaniard remained composed and slotted home the opener thanks to a deflection.
