Premier League 2025-26: Arsenal stay on top as Trossard earns gritty win over Fulham


Arsenal recorded a 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday to remain top of the Premier League, with Leandro Trossard getting the only goal of a tight second-half battle on his knees.

The Belgian arrived in a busy area to get the finishing touch from Gabriel’s strike from a corner just before the hour mark at Craven Cottage.

Arsenal had been knocked off the top by Manchester City, who had previously beaten Everton, but Mikel Arteta’s side responded with a workmanlike display to beat the London rivals.

Arsenal have 19 points from eight games, three more than City, while champions Liverpool, who host Manchester United on Sunday, are four points behind.
