Evening everyone.
As you are no doubt aware by now, Arsenal have concluded their week in style, by beating Fulham 3-1. The team picked up exactly where they left off against Fenerbahce and it was good to see. Even more so, knowing, how limited our options are, but the players we do have can deliver three times inside seven days. First things first, though.
The manager made two changes from the squad, that beat Turkish side on Wednesday: Jenkinson for suspended Koscielny and Podolski for Whilshere. Zelalem was a new face on the bench.
Sagna's shift to central defence saw Jenkinson start on the right, while Rosicky was paired with Ramsey in midfield, allowing Cazorla to play under the striker. Cazorla's place, in its turn, was taken up by Podolski.
We got off to a lively start at Craven Cottage, with Rosicky feeding Walcott with a lofted pass, but Stockdale blocked the Englishman's effort with his feet. The pressure was building up and, four minutes later, the goal came.
