The Arsenal manager tactical astuteness of keeping Aubameyang and Ramsey fresh to have an impact in the second half paid off. His decision to give the squad a one day off after Thursday’s trip to Azerbaijan may have also had an impact on the team's performance.

After the 2nd goal from Lacazette, Emery could have played it safe by bringing in Guendouzi or Ramsey, but he brought on Aubameyang for Welbeck. This was a move which gave the Gunners some extra pace to run at the Fulham defence. The move paid off as he troubled the Fulham defence throughout the second half.

Unai’s move to bring Ramsey for the industrious Iwobi gave an instant result as the combination of Aubameyang and Ramsey gave Arsenal the third goal and with that the 3 points.
