Arsenal ground out a 1-0 win at Fulham to remain top of the Premier League on Saturday with Leandro Trossard kneeing in the only goal of a tight tussle in the second half, Reuters reported.

The Belgian arrived inside a crowded area to get the finishing touch to a flick-on by Gabriel from a corner just before the hour mark at Craven Cottage.

Arsenal had been knocked off the top by Manchester City, who beat Everton earlier, but Mikel Arteta's side responded with a workmanlike display to edge out their London rivals, according to Reuters.
