Magalhaes Gabriel, however, put Arsenal ahead, scoring a header from Trossard’s corner in the 21st minute.
Gabriel Martinelli doubled Arsenal’s lead with another header in the 27th minute courtesy of Trossard’s assist.
Assisted again by Trossard, Martin Odegaard fired in Arsenal’s third goal just a few minutes to first half break, leaving Fulham behind with a three goal margin.
Fulham returned into the second half looking much better but Arsenal maintained firm hold of the game.
