FOOTBALL can be a cruel game sometimes, as evidenced after Fulham drew 1-1 against Arsenal at the Ashburton Grove on Sunday afternoon.

Gunners substitute Eddie Nketiah’s late goal dashed the visitors’ hopes of a first-ever victory in north London, after they led through Josh Maja’s second-half penalty.

The last-gasp equaliser also takes the Cottagers a step nearer to relegation — with the west Londoners once again ruing their inability to close out a game.
