Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Hull City at the Emirates Stadium, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points. Captain Martin Ødegaard scored the decisive goal in the 72nd minute, reacting quickly to Hull City's goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis failing to hold Noni Madueke's shot. The win marked Arsenal's fifth consecutive league victory and preserved their perfect home record.
Hull City put up a strong fight early on and frustrated Arsenal throughout the match, with John Egan and Semi Ajayi both coming close to finding the net. The match also saw a penalty appeal overturned due to Havertz being deemed offside. Arsenal maintained their clean sheet, now at seven in the Premier League this season, and will join their national teams for an international break before facing Newcastle United away on November 21 and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on November 24.
