Arteta: Arsenal's Rout of Fulham Keeps Title Dreams Alive in Premier League
Arsenal thrashed Fulham 3-0 to extend their Premier League title lead to six points, though Manchester City has two games in hand to catch up.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has insisted that the Gunners are still in the hunt for the Premier League title following their dominant 3-0 victory over Fulham. Arsenal dismantled Fulham at Emirates Stadium on May 2, 2026, with Victor Jeurkerez scoring in the 9th and 45+4th minutes while Bukayo Saka added a third in the 40th minute. The win takes Arsenal to 76 points from 35 matches, extending their lead over second-place Manchester City to 6 points, though City has two games in hand. After the match, the 44-year-old manager praised his team's resilience: "It tells us and our dressing room that we still have hope. What they do is remarkable—not just now, but throughout the season. Winning so many games in difficult circumstances, sometimes without key players available, is incredible." Arteta also looked ahead to Arsenal's upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid on May 5, urging his team to carry the momentum forward: "We need to take that energy, momentum, and belief into Tuesday. When I look at the atmosphere in the dressing room, I think we're heading in the right direction."
