Trossard Assists Arsenal In Regaining Five-Point Lead As Jesus Returns

Arsenal regained their five-point lead at the summit of the Premier League with a win over Fulham on Sunday.

Leandro Trossard ran the show away at the Craven Cottage to help Mikel Arteta's side win the game 3-0.

The Belgian recorded a hat-trick of assists in the first-half, assisting Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard.

Arsenal had multiple chances to score more goals but they misfired in front of goal.

While the Gunners got the result they desired, they were pumped up with the return of Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian was subbed on to play the final 15 minutes following his long layoff due to injury.

He had a golden opportunity to score on his return but Fulham and former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno made a superb save to prevent his shot from finding the back of the net.

The Gunners will next play Crystal Palace next weekend at the Emirates and will have the chance to move eight points clear of Manchester City who will host Burnley in the FA Cup on March 18.
