Arsenal missed the opportunity to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool after being held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
The result still saw the Gunners move up to second place, though they remain six points adrift of the Reds at the summit.
Super Eagles duo Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey both started for Fulham, lining up alongside former Arsenal forward Emile Smith Rowe.
Softfootball notes that with Liverpool’s derby against Everton postponed due to bad weather, and Manchester City held by Crystal Palace, Arsenal had a clear chance to gain ground that ultimately went unused.
Fulham took an early lead through Raul Jimenez in the 11th minute, before William Saliba levelled for Arsenal on the hour mark, heading home from a Declan Rice delivery after a lengthy VAR check.
Bukayo Saka thought he’d won it late on, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside.
Elsewhere, Wilfred Ndidi featured for Leicester as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Brighton, a result that leaves the Foxes 16th in the table.
