ARSENAL BEAT FULHAM 3-1 thanks to one goal from Olivier Giroud and a brace by Lukas Podolski, with Darren Bent scoring a consolation for the hosts at Craven Cottage today.

Following a slow start, the Frenchman took full advantage with a classy finish when an Aaron Ramsey pot shot fortuitously deflected into his path.

After Fulham enjoyed a brief spell on top, Arsenal doubled their advantage, as Podolski finished consummately when Theo Walcott’s shot was parried away by David Stockdale just before half-time.

After the break, the German then got his second and Arsenal’s third on 68 minutes, firing home after good work from Giroud.

Darren Bent scored a tap-in late on from Dimitar Berbatov’s shot-cum-cross, but it was too little too late for Fulham.

Arsene Wenger’s side came under strong criticism last week following their surprise loss to Aston Villa, but produced an improved performance today.
