LONDON, England (Reuters) - Arsenal's attacking players picked apart Fulham's lacklustre defence with ease in Sunday's 3-0 win but it was their defensive performance that earned praise from manager Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal restored their five-point lead over Manchester City atop the Premier League with a comfortable victory at west London side Fulham, earning a clean sheet a few days after Arteta lamented some soft goals his side had conceded recently.

"It's that love for defending that 11 players have to be committed to for 96 minutes," Arteta said."It's going to be crucial if we want to keep winning games." Sunday's game was a total about-face, as goals by Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli and captain Martin Odegaard sent the Gunners into the halftime break with a 3-0 lead. They nearly had four, as an Antony Robinson own goal was ruled offside by VAR."It's a really tough place to come, a really well organised team and I think we dominated the game, we created lots of chances, we kept a clean sheet and we won the game in a convincing way. So I'm very happy.

"He was really impressive," Arteta said of the Belgian winger."He had an injury three days ago which could have taken a week but he was really willing to come back."
