The Gunners claimed all three points after a closely contested encounter, with Hull City unable to find an equaliser.

The result gives Arsenal a valuable boost in their Premier League campaign as they continue their push for a strong finish this season.

Martin Ødegaard scored the decisive goal in the 72nd minute after reacting quickest to a rebound from Noni Madueke’s effort.

Arsenal had struggled to break down Hull’s defence in the first half, while the visitors also threatened to cause an upset at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners thought they had won a penalty after Kai Havertz was pulled back by Hull defender Nobel Mendy, but the decision was overturned following a VAR review for offside.

Mikel Arteta’s men improved after the break and eventually found the breakthrough through Ødegaard, whose goal proved enough to secure victory.

The win keeps Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table as they head into the international break.

They have now collected 27 points from their opening 10 league matches.
