Arsenal beats Hull 1-0, extends Premier League lead to six points

Arsenal defeated Hull City 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium in London to extend their Premier League lead to six points. Captain Martin Odegaard scored the only goal in the 72nd minute with a close-range finish after Noni Madueke's shot was spilled by Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.

The victory marked Arsenal's ninth win in 10 league games and lifted them to 27 points. Manchester City remains second with 21 points but risks losing the position to Brighton & Hove Albion. Arsenal also kept a clean sheet and is the league's best defence.

“I have big confidence in the referee. Nothing changes if he goes to watch the clip or not.”

Earlier, Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Elland Road, ending Spurs' three-match winning run. Substitute Noah Okafor scored the winning goal in the 79th minute. Leeds moved up to eighth place with 14 points, while Tottenham dropped to tenth with 12 points.

Mathys Tel was forced off shortly before half-time after a challenge by Leeds defender Jayden Bogle. The incident was reviewed by VAR for a potential red card but was eventually cleared. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi declined to comment on the challenge.

Arsenal had a penalty claim in the first half when Kai Havertz's shirt was pulled by Nobel Mendy, but VAR ruled Havertz was offside in the build-up. Manchester City can reduce Arsenal's lead to three points if they beat Nottingham Forest in the late kick-off. City is seeking to avoid a third consecutive defeat.
