    Christopher David: The Arsenal animal seems to have been finally awoken after a decade long hiatus.

    Steven Jerjian: After opening with two defeats, the fixture list has been relatively kind to Arsenal, but momentum and confidence definitely seem to be building under Emery.

    Nilesh Patel: Arguably Arsenal's most impressive win this season, professional and ruthless. Including a contender for goal of the season, fantastic team performance

  3. FULL-TIME

    Fulham 1-5 Arsenal

    Brilliant display from Arsenal. Different class. Fulham simply couldn't live with them in the second half. The win takes them third.

    Perhaps not the kind of game by which to judge the Cottagers' hopes of competing in the Premier League, but they remain with just one win from eight games and hovering just above the bottom three.

  4. 'Far too easy'

    Fulham 1-5 Arsenal

    Steve Claridge
    Ex-Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 live

    What would concern me from a Fulham point of view is how they lost their shape and balance so quickly. It's all been far too easy for Arsenal.

    GOAL - Fulham 1-5 Arsenal

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    Cake, say hello to some icing.

    Arsenal cut Fulham open again with a superb piece of play, which sees Aaron Ramsey chip a pass through for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to collect, tear away into the box and finish low into the Fulham net.

    This is a real calling card performance from Arsenal. They've been sensational. Rest of the Premier League take note.

    Newcastle or Fulham, Huddersfield and Cardiff for the drop. Got to be between these four on current form at the moment surely?

    Stuart

    In response to Dom from Cornwall (13:33), unfortunately due to one Gylfi Sigurdsson it's not even the goal of the weekend, let alone goal of the season.

  7. Fulham 1-4 Arsenal

    Fair play to Fulham. They're not going to alter their philosophy, even in the face of such superior opposition. They are still trying to play their way in.

    Afternoon's like this really do lay bare the size of the gulf between the Premier League's elite sides and everyone else.

    Aaron: Arsenal, Premier League dark horses? Can definitely see a top four of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and City feasibly finishing in any order at the end of the season.

    Lfcway: Is it time to take arsenal seriously? On this form, top is real possibility!

  9. Fulham 1-4 Arsenal

    Bettinelli is again called upon to save the day, diving out to punch away Bellerin's teasing cross.

    He's conceded four today but I'm not sure what else the Fulham keeper could have done?

    Easy goal to score when the opposition are doing their best impressions of training cones.

  11. SUBSTITUTION

    Fulham 1-4 Arsenal

    "Go on Stefan lad, have yourself a few minutes of this action."

    "Oh, thanks boss. Thanks a lot."

    Fulham send on Stefan Johansen for Luciano Vietto.

  12. Fulham 1-4 Arsenal

    Arsenal might not be done yet. Ramsey's ball is just too far ahead of Aubameyang in the box. The Welshman can then only stab a return cross past the post.

  13. SUBSTITUTION

    Fulham 1-4 Arsenal

    No hat-trick for Lacazette, who is replaced by Matteo Guendouzi.

    Fulham's heads are down and Arsenal are finishing this game like a train.

    GOAL - Fulham 1-4 Arsenal

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    Game over now. And it is another peach of a goal.

    Mkhitaryan floats a pass wide right for Bellerin who drives to the byline and crosses low for Aubameyang to control at the near post, swivel and finish past Bettinelli.

    A sixth win on the bounce in the league for the Gunners. They're right in the mix.

    Reminds me a lot of the Wilshere goal against Norwich. What a team goal. Surely goal of the season!

  17. Fulham 1-3 Arsenal

    Fulham getting increasingly desperate. Aboubakar Kamara has a hopefully punt at goal from range but his effort drifts harmlessly over.

    For all you stat nerds out there, Aaron Ramsey was on the pitch 37 seconds before scoring for Arsenal. They'll miss him when he leaves.

  18. Fulham 1-3 Arsenal

    Chance for Fulham.

    Mitrovic hasn't been in the game at all this half, but he gets himself into position to head a bouncing ball at goal from eight yards. Can't get enough power or direction on it, though, and Leno saves.

    Simon Goodall: No fan of Arsenal, but that is contender for Goal of the Season.

    Eamonn McGurk: That's just sensational stuff from Arsenal and Aaron Ramsey!

  20. Fulham 1-3 Arsenal

    That wonderful Arsenal third may well have killed this game off. Fulham have goals in them, of course, but it is asking a lot for them to come back from this.
