Arsenal beat Hull City 1-0 at home on Saturday to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League, with Martin Ødegaard scoring the only goal in the 72nd minute.
The leaders have 27 points after nine wins. Second-placed Manchester City have 21 and were due to play later on Saturday, while promoted Hull remain 13th on 11 points.
Arsenal had the better of the match at Emirates Stadium but struggled to score until Noni Madueke’s shot was saved by Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis. Ødegaard reacted quickest to the rebound. Hull posed little threat at the other end, according to the match report.
Jurriën Timber made his third Premier League start of the season and played the full match. He had been dealing with a groin injury earlier in the campaign.
