Highlights

90+4'

There goes the final whistle! A warm embrace between the two managers Martin Jol and Arsene Wenger. Arsenal good value for their victory.

89'

We are into four minutes of time added on here.

88'

A few of the home fans begin to head for the exit doors as Stockdale saves from Walcott after being sent in on goal by Cazorla.

87'

Sascha Riether attempts a timely pass, but Pajtim Kasami is caught offside. Not going to be Fulham's day.

86'

Six of Fulham’s last eight Premier League goals v Arsenal have come in the second-half – just two of the first 11 had done so.

85'

Chance to apply some pressure to the Fulham goal. Berbatov can't swivel to turn home the Karagounis free-kick.

84'

Wilshere back to win the ball from Kasami. Superb from Wilshere before Hughes cuts out the Walcott pass. And on we go.

83'

Hughes alert to head clear the Jenkinson cross, but still Arsenal attack.

82'

Yaya Sanogo replaces Lukas Podolski for Arsenal. Brilliant performance from him today.

81'

Wilshere collects a booking for a late challenge on Karagounis. More changes on the way here.

80'

Some fine stuff from Arsenal chasing a fourth goal to validate their efforts for the day.

79'

Arsenal push for a third goal, but Hughes blocks the Wilshere drive. Per Mertesacker then nudges the shot into the gloves of Stockdale.

78'

Monreal clipped late on the run by Riether. Arsenal with a free-kick wide of the home box.

77'

Kasami late on Mertesacker, and a straight yellow card there. No complaints either.

76'

GOAL! Arsenal go to sleep. Berbatov turns to knock the ball at goal. Szczesny with the save, but Bent converts from close range. 3-1 win. Is there time for Fulham?

75'

Giorgos Karagounis replaces Steve Sidwell for the home side.

74'

Classic Arsenal really. Slump to Villa one week before looking like prospective champions the next. Need to cut out the inconsistent patches because they are superb to watch in this mood.

73'

Looks all over in this one bar the shouting. Fulham just been outclassed in these 90 minutes.

72'

Parker with a late challenge on Cazorla, and he is going to be booked for that one.

71'

Giroud departs to be replaced by Nacho Monreal. Job has been done for Arsenal for the day.
