Gabriel Magalhaes atoned for his error by scoring a late winner as Arsenal came from behind to beat Fulham 2-1 and maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.
Aleksandar Mitrovic gave the visitors the lead against the run of play after snatching the ball from Gabriel on the edge of his own area.

The superb Martin Odegaard had leveled the score for the Gunners on a deflected shot from Bukayo Saka’s pass. Then the Arsenal center-back scored the winner when former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno failed to claim a corner.
Meanwhile, coach Mikel Arteta has hailed their “belief” in overcoming adversity.

What Did Arteta Say?
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke to Sky Sports after the match.
“It’s a big boost – and obviously to win like this as well. It’s really nice when you feel that adversity during the match after being in control of the match and being on top of it and hoping it was just a matter of time.
“We made a big mistake and they punished us, but how we reacted against adversity, the connection again with the supporters, the atmosphere that we created, the way we went about it, the mentality that we showed the way Gabby played after he made that mistake and the way that the team believed we could win the match. We went for it and we managed to do it.
“Overall, I’m really pleased with the performance.
“I think that this is just the start of the season. A long, long marathon. Everybody is going to suffer at some stage.
“We are in a good run and we have to try and maintain it, and be humble and hungry”
