Player ratings: Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

Arsenal fell to their second Premier League defeat in a week after a very poor performance at Craven Cottage on New Years Eve.

The Gunners made two changes from the West Ham defeat. One was forced due to Oleksandr Zinchenko’s calf injury, with Jakub Kiwior coming in and the other was in attack, with Eddie Nketiah replacing Gabriel Jesus.

The Gunners took an early lead through Bukayo Saka but their performance levels then dropped off and the whole team struggled to function throughout. Arsenal now may be focussing on the top four rather than the title after recent results.

Men of the match: I’ll give it to David Raya, which doesn’t say much. Couldn’t do much about either goal and made a very good save and was good with his distribution.
