Mikel Arteta's side went into their clash with the Cottagers on the back of three wins in their first three Premier League games of the season. Despite dominating possession, the Gunners were unable to make the most of their opportunities in the first half. Arteta's side were forced to rue their missed chances when Aleksandar Mitrovic capitalized on a horrendous error by Gabriel Magalhaes to give Marco Silva's side the lead in the 56th minute. The north London club's captain Martin Odegaard scored just eight minutes later to equalize for the Gunners. They continued to put pressure on Fulham's defense as Gabriel made up for his defensive error by scoring the winner in the 86th minute. A number of Arteta's players produced impressive performances, including the likes of William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli. However, it was Martin Odegaard who received plaudits from Ian Wright. Wright believes the midfielder led by example and praised him for his passing and pressing. "Captain, led by example today, his passing, his pressing, his composure in finding space," said Ian Wright on Match of the Day on BBC One.
