EPL: Arsenal edge Hull City 1-0 to extend lead at top

Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Captain Martin Ødegaard scored the only goal in the 72nd minute, capitalizing on goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis' inability to hold Noni Madueke's effort. The win extended Arsenal's winning streak to five matches and preserved their perfect home record in the league.

Hull City, despite early threats and frustrating Arsenal throughout the game, failed to find the back of the net. The Gunners struggled to create clear-cut chances in the first half, with Declan Rice's wide shot and Kai Havertz's failed control of Ødegaard's through-ball illustrating their difficulties. Hull also had a penalty appeal overturned when Declan Rice's challenge was deemed offside.

Arsenal secured another clean sheet in the Premier League this season and will join their national teams for the international break before facing Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund in upcoming fixtures.
