Premier League round-up
Arsenal beat Fulham to build lead over Man City
Viktor Gyökeres scored twice as Arsenal sent a strong Premier League title message with a convincing 3-0 win over Fulham at the Emirates Stadium.
Bukayo Saka played a key role by assisting Gyökeres’ ninth-minute opener before scoring Arsenal’s second just before halftime.
Gyökeres completed his brace in first-half stoppage time, heading home from Leandro Trossard’s cross to seal the victory.
The win puts Arsenal six points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table, with a superior goal difference of four, though they have played two matches more.
