Bukayo Saka scored minutes after coming on for his first appearance in more than three months, as Arsenal held on for a 2-1 win over Fulham. This was the Gunners’ first match in 16 days, when Mikel Merino earned them a narrow victory over Chelsea, and it looked like being the same story here in another London derby. The Spaniard, once again playing as a striker, opened the scoring before half-time with the help of a big deflection, in what had otherwise been a frustrating opening period for the hosts.
