Arsenal v Hull

Does that sound familiar? It finishes 1-0 to the Arsenal against a resolute Hull City side, and the Gunners head into the international break top of the Premier League after winning nine of their opening 10 matches. Yet again, it was far from straightforward for Arteta's men, who have now won six league games by a single-goal margin this season. Hull carried a threat at times, generating 0.34 xG, most notably through Stroud, who forced Raya into a first-half save, but their primary objective was to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm and they executed that game plan impressively. With the home crowd growing anxious and chances at a premium, Odegaard delivered a captain's contribution, reacting quickest to turn Madueke's parried effort into the back of the net with less than 20 minutes remaining. Madueke was Arsenal's liveliest attacking outlet throughout the afternoon and should have put the result beyond doubt late on, only to be denied after attempting to round Tzolakis. In the end, Arsenal's 1.08 xG was enough to secure another vital three points. The Gunners return to action against Newcastle after the international break, while Hull, who slip to 13th for now, host high-flying Brighton next time out. That's all from us here – until next time, goodbye!

FULL-TIME: ARSENAL 1-0 HULL CITY

Bizarrely, Eze is on the floor after appearing to win a free-kick, but Merino takes it quickly and picks out Madueke at the back post. The England international brings it down brilliantly, only to go to ground under minimal contact from Giles. The touch is just enough to disrupt him, and he can't get his shot away as cleanly as he would have liked.

Slater finds himself in space inside the area after the ball breaks kindly off Gelhardt, but Gabriel comes storming across to force the Hull midfielder away from danger and out of the box. The visitors look to keep the pressure on, only for Norton-Cuffy to bring down Merino and hand Arsenal a valuable free-kick inside their own area.

We're into at least four minutes of added time at the conclusion of this one.
