Premier League 2024-25: Arsenal held to 1-1 draw at Fulham
Arsenal was held to a 1-1 draw by London rival Fulham on a grey wet Sunday at Craven Cottage as Raul Jimenez scored early for the host and William Saliba equalised for the visitor at the start of the second half.
Jimenez stunned title-chasing Arsenal in the 11th minute, racing away down the right and firing right-footed across goalkeeper David Raya into the far corner.
Saliba levelled shortly after the interval from point-blank range, poking the ball in when Kai Havertz headed it back down into his path from a corner.
Arsenal thought it had won it in the 88th minute when Bukayo Saka headed the ball in from close range, but the goal was ruled out by the video assistant referee for an offside in the buildup.
Fulham has now lost only one of its last seven league games and sits 10th in the table on 23 points, while Arsenal is second on 29 ahead of third-placed Chelsea’s late game against Tottenham Hotspur.
Goals from substitutes Enes Unal and Dango Ouattara powered Bournemouth to a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory on and denied relegation-threatened Ipswich Town its first home Premier League victory of the season.
Leicester City came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Brighton & Hove Albion at the King Power Stadium, thanks to late goals by captain Jamie Vardy and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
