Arsenal boss Unai Emery: This is why Gunners beat Fulham
ARSENAL boss Unai Emery says his team deserved to beat Fulham despite a few nervy moments in their 4-1 win.
Arsenal took all three points at the Emirates to move two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
But the Gunners were once again far from secure defensively.

In the first half, Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon missed two presentable chances before Granit Xhaka opened the scoring.
Alexandre Lacazette doubled Arsenal’s lead in the second half but Fulham got the goal their play deserved when Aboubakar Kamara scored at the far post.
However the Gunners put the game beyond their London rivals when Aaron Ramsey and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored.
Arsenal have now kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 Premier League games.
But Emery says his team deserved their win.
He said: "We wanted to win and this result will give confidence.
"We continued to push and create chances and we can be happy.
"It is normal for the fans to have some doubt at 2-1, but the team continued to do their work and played our planned game.
"I thought we deserved the scoreline. We scored with different players and we can continue to build our identity with the players."
