Van Persie on target at Fulham

Robin van Persie struck a brilliant second-half winner as Arsenal beat Fulham 1-0 in the Barclays Premier League match at Craven Cottage.

Andrew Johnson, Clint Dempsey and substitute Zoltan Gera had all tested young goalkeeper Vito Mannone.

However, it was Arsenal who got the crucial breakthrough on 51 minutes through a fine finish from Dutch striker van Persie.
