Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the 2022/2023 Premier League, as they battled to a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over visiting Fulham in an entertaining London Derby at the Emirates Stadium.
After a goalless first 45 minutes, Alexander Mitrovic turned on the screw in the derby as he netted his fourth goal of the current campaign and his 100th for the Cottagers as Fulham took the lead.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard and Brazilian defender Gabriel both found the back of the net, as the Gunners emerged victorious and they remain the only side in the current season yet to drop points.
