Ødegaard scores winner as Arsenal beat Hull City to stay top of Premier League
Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Hull City thanks to a 72nd-minute goal by captain Martin Ødegaard, maintaining their lead in the league.
Martin Ødegaard broke a scoreless deadlock in the 72nd minute, giving Arsenal a 1-0 win over newly-promoted Hull City at the Emirates Stadium. The goal came after Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis saved a shot from Noni Madueke, and Ødegaard capitalised on the rebound. The win marked Arsenal's ninth victory in ten league matches and kept them at the top of the Premier League table. It was Ødegaard's third league goal of the season and the team's seventh clean sheet, extending their league-best defensive record. The league will pause for the international window after this round of fixtures, with matches resuming in two weeks.
