EPL: Arsenal equal record after 1-0 victory over Hull City

Arsenal have equalled their best-ever start to a Premier League season after securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Hull City on Saturday.

The Gunners had to work hard to overcome the newly promoted side in front of their home supporters at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite controlling much of the match, Arsenal struggled to break down Hull’s defence for most of the encounter.

The breakthrough finally arrived in the 72nd minute when captain Martin Odegaard reacted quickly to a loose ball inside the penalty area.

The midfielder calmly converted the opportunity to give Arsenal the decisive goal and secure all three points.

The victory took Arsenal to 27 points from their opening 10 Premier League matches this season.
