Fulham draw 1-1 against ArsenalScore a 21-pass goal to take leadFulham troll Arsenal with old clicheFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Arsene Wenger's Arsenal were very well-known as a team that preferred to play very 'non-English' football as they liked to rotate the ball and hold possession instead of hoofing the ball. The style of play became a running gag and in the famous British sitcom 'The IT Crowd', where Richard Ayoade's character Moss said: "The thing about Arsenal is they always try and walk it in."

During Marco Silva's side's 1-1 draw against Arsenal at Craven Cottage, Raul Jimenez scored the opener in the 11th minute after Fulham strung together a move that consisted of 21 uninterrupted passes before the goal. The Cottagers have now posted a video of that goal with the caption: "Thing about Fulham is, they always try and walk it in," in a sort of nod towards the old cliche.
WHAT SILVA SAID
Speaking to the media, Silva said: "It's always tough when we play against them but they know it will be tough too. We create a difficult scenario for them.
"We have to be honest and fair. On the ball, it was one of the games we had less time on the ball. [But] we scored a very good goal."
