Comments:

League position: 9th Arsenal had now won one of their seven home games so far in this Premier League season following games played in the UEFA Europa League (lost five). Eddie Nketiah's equaliser was timed at 96 minutes and eight seconds; it became the Gunners' latest goal in a game in the Premier League since Alexis Sánchez's match-winning penalty against Burnley on 22 January 2017 (97 minutes and 14 seconds). [c/o Harvey Downes] They had now conceded one goal in each of five of their last seven games in the Premier League. Dani Ceballos scored after 40 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 18th Fulham had now dropped three points in their last two games in the Premier League due to goals scored in added time at the end of the game. The Whites had now lost one of their last ten away games in the Premier League (won two). This was manager Scott Parker's 100th game in charge of Fulham in all competitions (won 37, lost 39).
