Arsenal's English midfielder Bukayo Saka celebrated after scoring their second goal, but it was disallowed for offside in the build-up following a VAR (Video Assistant Referee) review during the English Premier League football match against Fulham at Craven Cottage in London on Sunday.

Arsenal missed the opportunity to close the gap to within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool after being held to a 1-1 draw at Fulham on Sunday. Bukayo Saka had a late winner ruled out by a VAR review for offside, halting the Gunners' four-match winning streak in west London. Raul Jimenez had fired Fulham into an early lead before William Saliba levelled the score with another Arsenal goal from a corner.

Mikel Arteta's men moved above Chelsea into second place, six points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand after their clash at Everton on Saturday was postponed due to high winds. Chelsea can reclaim second place if they avoid defeat at Tottenham later on Sunday. Arsenal were still without influential defensive duo Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori due to injury, and Fulham exploited a makeshift left side of the Gunners' backline to take the lead.

Kenny Tete's through ball was seized upon by Jimenez, who drove forward and fired brilliantly across David Raya into the far corner on 11 minutes. The opening goal came against the run of play, and Fulham were forced back by an Arsenal side desperate to kickstart their bid for a first title in over 20 years. Saka's shot was comfortably saved by Bernd Leno in the visitors' best effort of the first half.

Arsenal's threat from set-pieces was well-known before they scored twice from corners to beat Manchester United 2-0 in midweek. Despite their preparations, Fulham were powerless to prevent the corner kings. Saliba stabbed home Kai Havertz's header from close range for Arsenal's 23rd goal from corners since the beginning of last season. Another corner should have led to the winner, but Thomas Partey nodded wide when unmarked from another precise Declan Rice delivery.

Saka did head in at the back post as stoppage time approached, but Gabriel Martinelli had strayed offside before supplying the cross. Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester struck twice late on to deny Brighton in a 2-2 draw at the King Power. Tariq Lamptey opened the scoring in spectacular fashion with a looping effort into the top corner from outside the box on 37 minutes. Yankuba Minteh looked to have sealed the three points for the Seagulls 11 minutes from time. But Jamie Vardy started the comeback on 86 minutes before teeing up Bobby De Cordova-Reid to snatch a point in stoppage time.

Bournemouth also scored twice in the dying minutes to deny Ipswich a first home win in the top flight for 22 years in a 2-1 win at Portman Road. Conor Chaplin put Ipswich in front, but the Cherries moved up to eighth after substitutes Enes Unal and Dango Ouattara turned the game around in the final three minutes plus stoppage time. Ipswich remain four points adrift of safety in the bottom three.
