Arsenal have matched their club record tally of 27 points at the start of the Premier League season, following a 1-0 win over Hull City at the Emirates Stadium. Captain Martin Odegaard scored the winning goal in the 72nd minute, extending the Gunners' winning streak to five games and their unbeaten home run to 11 matches in all competitions.
Arsenal currently sit at the top of the table, six points clear of Manchester City, but Manchester City could close the gap to three points if they win their upcoming match against Nottingham Forest. Despite their strong start, Arsenal have struggled to score more goals consistently, and their defense has been vulnerable at times.
Hull City, on the other hand, have had a difficult time in the Premier League, as they start their first top-flight campaign in 10 years with two wins from two matches but are still 13th in the table with 11 points. Fulham and Newcastle finished their match with a 1-1 draw, both teams feeling frustrated for not securing a victory, with Newcastle remaining in 11th place on 12 points and Fulham in 14th with 10 points.
