Bukayo Saka initially provided hope for Mikel Arteta’s side with a close-range finish in the opening five minutes of the game.
However, Fulham's Raul Jimenez leveled the score just before the half-hour mark with a crucial goal.
The tide turned in the second half when De Cordova-Reid seized on a defensive lapse by Arsenal, securing the winning goal for Fulham.
Arsenal's inability to contain Fulham’s attacks proved costly, as they missed a crucial opportunity to stay competitive in the title race.
