Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Odegaard all scored in the first half to give the north Londoners a dominant lead against Fulham.
With a dominant performance against Fulham on Sunday, Arsenal demonstrated that they have no intention of giving up on winning the Premier League.
After 26 games, Mikel Arteta's team led Manchester City by five points going into the weekend's games. On Saturday night, Pep Guardiola's team defeated Crystal Palace by a slim margin to briefly reduce the deficit to to two points.
The defender's first goal against Fulham was his third in four games. In 2020, the Brazilian scored in his Arsenal debut, and in August, he scored the tying goal against Marco Silva's team.
A Leandro Trossard corner was the source of the greatest jump by the 25-year-old five minutes after an Antonee Robinson own goal was disallowed for offside. The center-back sprinted off and imitated Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk's celebration after gliding the ball past former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
Uncertain of the celebration's true significance, viewers of the match on television saw the Arsenal defense rejoicing in a similar manner to Vigil Van Dijk.
