Arsenal dropped points at Fulham the last two seasons in the middle of a title race.
Not this season. Another set piece goal keeps Arsenal at the top of the Premier League

It took Arsenal seven corners to crack Fulham open.
They showed some variety to their delivery in the previous six, including two short corners.
The goal came from a trademark inswinger and, as he often is, Gabriel was the target.
Rather than picking out the Brazil international between the posts, he made a near-post dart, and glanced Bukayo Saka’s delivery towards Leandro Trossard at the other end of the goal.
It is the 14th time that Arsenal have scored a corner goal to go ahead in a game since the start of last season, five more than anyone else (Aston Villa have the next most, nine).
