What Marco Silva said about Arsenal challenging for EPL title after their 2-2 draw against Fulham

Fulham manager Marco Silva believes Arsenal will again contend for the Premier League championship this year despite playing 2-2 draw against his team on Saturday

Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah scored twice in the span of three minutes to cancel out Andreas Pereira's opening goal, giving Arsenal the appearance that they had made a remarkable comeback.

Joao Palhinha, though, struck a goal in injury time to give Fulham a draw against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Remember that Arsenal came in second place behind champion Manchester City in the Premier League last year.

Speaking at his post-match press conference after the game, Silva said, “We have great respect for Arsenal. In my opinion, they are going to be even stronger than last season.

“The quality they add for their squad is impressive and I have to say they are going to be contenders again because of the quality they have and the manager they have and all of that stuff.”
