Joao Palhinha's strike earned Fulham a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Andreas Pereira fired the visitors ahead after 57 seconds capitalising on a mistake from Bukayo Saka. It took until after the break for Arsenal to respond as Saka scored from the penalty spot after Fabio Vieira was fouled in the box. Eddie Nketiah then converted a cross from Vieira to put the Gunners ahead. Calvin Bassey was then dismissed for the visitors for two bookable offences. But, the Cottagers didn't give up and earned a valuable point as Palhinha swept home Harrison Reed's corner.

CLOSE! Nketiah heads the ball across the face of goal from Saka's corner. It almost falls for Kiwior, but Diop reacts first and edges it away from the Arsenal man for another corner.

SAVE! Vieira cuts inside from the right flank and bends a powerful strike on his foot at goal, but Leno holds firm and touches it over the top.

SAVE! Arsenal are caught napping after Vieira handles the ball as he doesn't get a free-kick. Traore is played behind the Arsenal defence and surges past Saliba with a desperate lunge, only to see his effort blocked by Ramsdale. Almost a winner at the death for the visitors.

Arsenal are encamped in the Fulham half and are putting the Cottagers under severe pressure.

Vieira is offside as he connects with a perfect overhead kick at the back post. It was saved anyway, but it was a nice effort from the Arsenal midfielder.
