Arsenal<\/a> moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League table after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta\u2019s side were widely expected to overcome a Hull team without a league victory since August, but the visitors made life difficult for the title favourites despite Arsenal dominating possession and creating several chances.<\/p>\n

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard eventually broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute, scoring his first goal since early September to secure Arsenal\u2019s ninth win in 10 games.<\/p>\n

Arsenal had appealed for a penalty towards the end of the first half after Kai Havertz\u2019s shirt was pulled by Nobel Mendy. However, a VAR review ruled that Havertz had been offside in the build-up.<\/p>\n

Arsenal nearly doubled their lead late in the game when Madueke broke through on goal, but Tzolakis brought him down. The ball ricocheted off Mendy before Brooke Norton-Cuffy cleared it off the line.<\/p>\n

The victory extended Arsenal\u2019s winning run in the Premier League to five matches since their 3-0 defeat to Brighton in September, which remains their only league setback of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s six-point advantage could be cut to three when title rivals Manchester City face Nottingham Forest in Saturday\u2019s late kick-off. Man City are seeking to avoid a third consecutive defeat.<\/p>\n
