FULHAM VS ARSENAL PLAYER RATINGS: Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli struggle as Arsenal slip to another defeat, while Joao Palhinha helps Fulham end 2023 in style

Arsenal's title challenge took another dent on Sunday afternoon after Mikel Arteta's side were beaten 2-1 by Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The Spanish manager was dispondent after the game and criticising his side's performance as 'not good enough' with the Gunners having now won just one of their last five Premier League matches.

While they are still only two points off Liverpool who occupy the top of the table, Sunday's loss saw them drop to fourth.

Bukayo Saka gave the visitors and early lead in the match, but Arsenal seemed to run out of steam, with Raul Jimenez scoring on his return from suspension before half-time, before Bobby De Cordova-Reid fired in the winner on the 60th minute.
