Arsenal stay on top of Premiership Table

Santi Cazorla scored twice as Arsenal beat Fulham to secure a fifth successive top-flight win to remain at the top of the Premier League.

Cazorla slotted in after an intricate one-touch passing move to break the visiting side’s resistance.

The Spaniard latched on to a clearance and drove in a low 20-yard strike to seal the victory.

The Gunners had initially been frustrated by Fulham but were rewarded for their patience and persistence as they continued their impressive home form.

Arsenal have dropped just four points and conceded only three goals in 10 home league games since an opening-day 3-1 deafeat by Aston Villa.

The omens had not been promising for Fulham heading into the match against the league leaders as they had the fewest clean sheets and had conceded the most goals in the top flight.
