Leandro Trossard, a Belgian forward, became the first player in the history of the Premier League to assist a hat-trick of away goals just before halftime in a crushing 3-0 victory at Fulham. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard complimented Trossard’s “incredible” effect since joining the team.
December addition As Gabriel Jesus made his long-awaited comeback from a knee injury, Trossard shone in a brilliant first-half performance that restored Arsenal’s five-point advantage at the top of the Premier League. He assisted headers by Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli as well as Odegaard’s goal in stoppage time.
According to Sky Sports, Odegaard said of the $32.5 million ($27.4 million) signing from Brighton & Hove Albion, “I love to play with him. “He has given the team some incredible stuff.
He is constantly trying to find the best pass. I fired my shot into the corner while remaining composed. We are overjoyed to have him on the squad.
The victory allows Arsenal to regain the lead they had over Manchester City at the start of the weekend and makes them the first Premier League team to ever win five straight away London derbies while maintaining a perfect record.
With an early warning for Fulham, Antonee Robinson’s own goal was disallowed because Martinelli was offside. Fulham didn’t manage a shot on goal in the first half but improved in the second and Aleksandar Mitrovic’s header struck the crossbar.
