Martin Ødegaard extends Arsenal lead at top with winner to break Hull resistance
Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard scored the winning goal against Hull City, maintaining the team's lead at the top of the Premier League. Despite a strong defensive effort from the newly promoted Hull, Arsenal secured the points to head into the international break with a record-matching start.
Why it matters
The result is significant for the Premier League title race, highlighting Arsenal's current form and consistency.
As most Arsenal supporters would testify, patience is a virtue. They needed plenty during the 22-year wait to be crowned Premier League champions and Mikel Arteta’s side certainly had to retain their composure as they tried to break down a dogged Hull team. They had not beaten Arsenal in 14 attempts since winning on their first visit to this ground in 2008. But with 20 minutes still to play, there was every chance that Sergej Jakirovic’s team could have pulled off one of the shocks of the season.
