Arsenal fail to win 5 games in a row! Sakar was blown, continuing the two major spells, more than one game down 6 points [JIAYU]


With the draw at Fulham, Arsenal continued their streak of never winning three straight Premier League games and five in all competitions this season, temporarily falling six points behind Liverpool with a game in hand.

After successive 1-0 defeats at Newcastle, Inter and a 1-1 draw at Chelsea, Arsenal have won four in a row against Nottingham Forest, Sporting de Portugal, West Ham and Manchester United.

Against Fulham, Arsenal have a chance to catch up. However, Arsenal failed to win both legs against Fulham last season, only getting a draw and a loss. Fulham lost five points in the two games, becoming one of the important reasons for Arsenal's failure to win the title.

Not only that, Fulham are unbeaten in their last eight London derbies, winning four and drawing four, a new record since September 2001 when they were unbeaten in nine games.

Arsenal began the game with a strong attack and at one point had 75% possession. However, Fulham managed to open the scoring with their first attack when Tete went straight and Jimenez burst into the area to score a low shot. Arsenal have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last six Premier League away games, equalling the record for the longest consecutive Premier League away goals conceded since Arteta took charge.
