Arsenal stretched their lead atop the Premier League to six points with a 1-0 victory over Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Mikel Arteta's team dominated the match but faced a stubborn Hull side still seeking their first league win since August.

Martin Odegaard, the Arsenal captain, settled the contest in the 72nd minute with his first goal since early September. The strike secured Arsenal's ninth win in their last 10 outings.

The Gunners thought they'd won a penalty late in the first half when Kai Havertz was pulled by Nobel Mendy, but VAR intervened. The officials ruled Havertz offside during the buildup to the incident.

Arsenal nearly added a second when Madueke raced clear on goal, only for Tzolakis to bring him down. The ball bounced off Mendy's leg, and Brooke Norton-Cuffy cleared the rebound away from danger.

The win extended Arsenal's unbeaten run in the league to five matches. Their only league defeat this season came in a 3-0 loss to Brighton back in September.

Manchester City can trim Arsenal's advantage to three points when they visit Nottingham Forest in Saturday's late fixture. City are attempting to snap a run of two consecutive defeats.
