Also, the Gunners have won just one of their last five games (two defeats and two draws).

Bassey saw 90 minutes of action while Iwobi was replaced on 72 minutes.

Iwobi created two chances while Bassey won five duels and made three tackles.

Arsenal got off to a good start as Bukayo Saka pounced on a rebound to put the visitors 1-0 up on five minutes.

In the 29th minute Raul Jimenez drew Fulham level, as he finished off a brilliant counter attack.

The counter was started after Bassey dislodged Saka off the ball and quickly found a teammate with a pass.

De Cordova-Reid scored Fulham’s second on 59 minutes, smashing the ball past David Raya after the Arsenal defence failed to clear a corner.

Mikel Arteta’s men drop to fourth on 40 points and could find themselves five points behind leaders Liverpool who will host Newcastle on Monday.
