Arsenal concede late equaliser against ten-man Fulham

Arsenal conceded a late equaliser against Fulham despite Marco Silva’s side having been down to 10 men.

The Gunners conceded an early goal after mistakes by Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale allowed Andreas Pereira to score in the opening two minutes.
