Arsenal moved up to third in the Premier League after seeing off Fulham at Craven Cottage, with Alexandre Lacazette twice on the scoresheet.
Arsenal made it nine wins in a row in all competitions as they thrashed Fulham 5-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.

Alexandre Lacazette scored twice for the Gunners before Aaron Ramsey’s brilliant finish and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s late double secured a third straight away win in the top flight – their best such run since October 2016.

Andre Schurrle had brought Fulham level at half time, but it is now five defeats in eight games for Slavisa Jokanovic’s side, who have conceded 21 times in those matches this season.

Unai Emery’s side, who have won every game since back-to-back losses to Manchester City and Chelsea in August, are now third in the table, above rivals Tottenham on goal difference
