Arsenal moved into third in the Premier League after a less than convincing 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
After the match Arsene Wenger admitted his side were fortunate and played with their 'handbrake' on. He told Sky Sports: "It became hard, and in the second-half especially I think we played with a hand-brake. "We just wanted to keep the lead without taking any risk and had not enough penetration. When a team is down to ten men they focus on defending deep and they defended well. We did not give them enough problems today." Despite losing to Arsenal, Martin Jol heaped praise on his Fulham side insisting they 'fought like lions'. He told Sky Sports: "I really thought we did very well and it is disappointing to play for 83-minutes with ten-men but I said to them in the dressing room we fought like lions and we could have had a result and a draw would have been deserved."
