Arsenal's Premier League title hopes were dealt another huge blow as they fell to a second successive defeat at the hands of Fulham to close out 2023.
The Gunners took a fifth-minute lead in another London derby at Craven Cottage on New Year's Eve through Bukayo Saka as they looked to bounce back from Thursday's surprise home loss to West Ham and secure the win that would see them enter 2024 back on top of the Premier League table, with victories for Aston Villa and Manchester City on Saturday having seen them slip down to fourth place in a congested title race before kick-off.
