Arsenal vs Fulham Premier League Player Ratings: A Fantastic Start
Arsenal opened the new Premier League campaign on a glorious Saturday afternoon with a rather pleasant 3-0 win over Fulham.
On Saturday afternoon, Mikel Arteta‘s Arsenal began their 2020/21 Premier League campaign with an enjoyable 3-0 win against London rivals Fulham. It was certainly cagey in the game’s early moments, as a miscommunication between Gabriel Magalhaes and Bernd Leno nearly gifted Fulham an early goal. However, Alexandre Lacazette soon scuffed the ball into Marek Rodák‘s net to give Arsenal the lead at the interval.
Gabriel thundered a header home on his debut before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored another signature goal from the left-hand side to ensure that the Gunners returned home with three points.
Starting with Leno, here is how I graded the performance of every Arsenal player.
With all of the plaudits given to Emiliano Martínez in recent months, Leno – himself one of the club’s best players last season – needed to remind fans of his capabilities. Today, the German had very little to do besides snuffing out the aforementioned miscommunication.
