Morning all, and welcome to yet another Sunday cruise through wall-to-wall, end-to-end, marriage-to-divorce, lovely football! And we've got a decent one to start: Fulham have disappointed slightly on their return to the top division, but still have plenty of attacking enterprise and talent - while Arsenal, taking it slowly under Emery, also have plenty of attacking enterprise and talent. This will not be goalless.

Highlights

13:52

So there we go - thanks for your company and see you soon.

13:51

Nine wins on the spin for Arsenal, six on the spin in the league, who produce five excellent goals to go fifth; Fulham, meanwhile, have conceded 21 times and need to find a way of defending properly. If they don't, they're going down.

13:50

Full-time: Fulham 1-5 Arsenal

90+2'

There'll be three added minutes.

90+1'

GOAL! Fulham 1-5 Arsenal (Aubameyang) Oh! Xhaka knocks into Ramsey on the half-turn; he strokes through for Aubameyang, whose first touch is excellent, taking him away from Le Marchand and setting up a low zetz across Bettinelli into the bottom corner. Arsenal have absolutely rousted Fulham in the second half.

90'

Arsenal knock it about...

88'

Next for Fulham it's Cardiff away; if they lose that, they've got serious problems and it's Bournemouth at home after that, the kind of game they'd have earmarked to win before the start of the season, problem being that Bournemouth are killing it at the moment.

88'

Fulham have been absolutely spanked here, there's no getting away from it.

86'

Fulham have gone. Guendouzi lifts a pass into the path of Bellerin, who lifts a cross into the box seeking Aubameyang, but Bettinelli is out to punch clear.

84'

Arsenal's goals today have been very good indeed. I don't think they played especially well in the first half, but their burst after half-time was excellent and decided the game.

83'

Johansen replaces Vietto.

82'

It's funny really, looking at that Arsenal back-five; it's probably worse than Manchester United's yet has conceded five fewer goals. That's confidence and organisation, so credit to Unai Emery for that.

81'

Guendouzi replaces Lacazette.

79'

GOAL! Fulham 1-4 Arsenal (Aubameyang) Mkhitayran spreads wide for Bellerin, who controls is hectares, cuts back low, and at the near post, Aubameyang kills it beautifully just as Lacazette did for his first, then spins and bends a left-footer into the far corner. Very nice, and Arsenal are going third, above Spurs.

77'

Yeah, that's exactly how it happened.

76'

This game is dying a death.

74'

I should note that after that brilliant Ramsey goal, the away end was singing "We've got our Arsenal back" which seems bit harsh. What is the "our Arsenal" they're referring to, if not Arsene Wenger's Arsenal? Anyway, eight wins in a row, six in the league, is pretty handy, even if their defence is still not all that.

73'

Christie comes inside and shoots, heading the rebound into the box when it's blocked; Mitrovic is there too, in front of goal, but can only plop a header into Leno's arms.

72'

Fulham have let in 19 goals this season. They don't have enough in attack to redeem that if it continues.

70'

Torreira's been good today, and seeing Schurrle ahead of him, backs his pace so runs at him - he's right to too, because he beats his man easily, eliciting a foul and a yellow card.
