Arsenal’s title hope suffers major setback with 2-1 loss to Fulham

Arsenal faced another setback in their pursuit of the Premier League title with a 2-1 loss to Fulham, while Tottenham’s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth brought them closer to securing a top-four spot in London, United Kingdom.

Despite Bukayo Saka’s early goal for Arsenal, their momentum faded, and Raul Jimenez’s strike for Fulham turned the tide.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s late goal sealed Fulham’s win, marking Arsenal’s second defeat in a span of four days.

This string of losses has dented Arsenal’s hopes of clinching their first league title in two decades, leaving them in fourth place, trailing leaders Liverpool by two points and level with Manchester City, having played an extra game.
