arsenal blows another 2 goals lead to draw with Fulham.

Arsenal   3   Fulham   3




Arsenal blew another 2-0 advantage, this is for the second time in a week but this time allowing Cottagers to recover and then take the lead after early goals from Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski had put the hosts in command.



Striker duo Dimitar berbatov and Bryan Ruiz proved a handful all afternoon, with the Bulgarian nodding home with an unmarked header at a corner to begin the fightback on 29 minute.

Kacanikilic then scored in the 40th minute to levelled the scores at 2-2 before Dimitar put Fulham ahead in the 67th minute.

Although Giroud quickly levelled to set up a rousing final 20 minutes, the Gunners - who eventually drew 2-2 in their Champions League tie at Schalke after going 2-0 were again unable to fashion a winner, even with Arsenal being given a stoppage time penalty.

Mikel Arteta saw his stoppage-time penalty saved by Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.



Another points gone begging.

They need to close out games.
