Nketiah’s goal took place while Fulham ace Calvin Bassey was down injured
The North Londoners equalised with Bukayo Saka‘s penalty in the 70th minute.
And Mikel Arteta’s men turned the game on its head with Eddie Nketiah just two minutes later.
But Arsenal‘s attack and Nketiah’s goal took place while Fulham ace Calvin Bassey was down with an injury.
And fans weren’t happy with the way the striker hit the back of the net and lashed out on Twitter.
Not only were they furious Arsenal kept playing on, they also pointed out Nketiah may have been played onside by the injury defender.
One supporter commented: “Playing and scoring while Bassey is down. Complete b******t.”
Another posted: “Scandalous that the Arsenal goal stands idk why VAR doesn’t check for a foul on Bassey.”
A third tweeted: “Terrible decision in the Arsenal game! Saka fouls Bassey and gets away with it. Leads to a goal.”
This fan said: “VAR pretending to not see the foul on Bassey… Well done Arsenal.”

That one wrote: “The Arsenal second was a foul on Bassey.”
And that Arsenal fan posted: “As much as I like to see us winning this, we should have put the ball out because Bassey is injured. No class at all Arsenal, highly disappointed.”
However, Fulham managed to equalise with Joao Palhinha in the 87th minute.
That was four minutes after Bassey was sent off with a second yellow card.
The centre-back was given his marching orders after blocking Nketiah during a counter-attack.
