Arsenal’s embarrassing record revealed after draw with Fulham

Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Fulham at the Emirates Stadium may have seemed like a decent result on the surface, but it also highlighted an embarrassing record for the Gunners. With Fulham scoring in the first minute of the match, Arsenal became the first team in Premier League history to concede a first-minute goal three times in a single calendar year.

This record is certainly not one that Arsenal fans will be proud of. It reflects a lack of defensive organization and concentration, which has been a recurring issue for the team. Conceding early goals puts them on the back foot right from the start and makes it difficult to mount a comeback.

Despite this disappointing record, Arsenal did show some resilience in their performance against Fulham. They managed to turn things around after going behind and took a 2-1 lead through goals from Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka. However, they were unable to hold on to their advantage as Fulham equalized late in the game.

Overall, Arsenal’s start to the Premier League season has been mixed, with two wins and one draw in their first three matches. While there have been some positive moments, such as their comeback against Fulham, they will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities if they want to compete at the highest level. Conceding early goals is simply not sustainable if they want to achieve success in the league.
