Arsenal have justified the favorite role vs Fulham with a 3-0 victory. The 2020-21 Premier League opening match was played on Saturday, 12 September at the Craven Cottage in London.
USA international Tim Ream played the entire game for Fulham. In contrast, Antonee Robinson wasn't included in the squad for Round 1.
The Gunners were heavily favored by bookmakers entering this match. Luckily for Mikel Arteta's side, they didn't slip-up at the beginning of the new 2020-21 Premier League season.
Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoresheet in the first half, while Gabriel and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang added another two. What is interesting in that their summer signing Willian contributed with an assist in each of the three strikes.
The 32-year-old Brazilian midfielder left Chelsea this summer to join their arch city-rivals, Arsenal on a free transfer. Frank Lampard's forward line has gone through a renovation and Willian was considered a surplus in the squad, mostly because of his age.
The Blues won't certainly miss Willian, as they have made sure to replace him with a few incredible players. However, in spite of that, the Arsenal fans believe that their rivals will certainly regret letting go of the versatile star.

As expected, the Chelsea fans haven't been much bothered by all this. They have attempted to refresh the memory of when Henrikh Mkhitaryan made a hat-trick of assists on his Gunners debut. Eventually, he turned out to be a massive flop for the club and was sold to Italian side AS Roma this summer.
