Ødegaard scores winner as Arsenal scrape past Hull to extend PL lead

Arsenal needed a captain's goal from Martin Ødegaard to see off Hull 1-0 and ensure they head into the international break with a healthy lead at the top of the Premier League . Ødegaard struck with 18 minutes of a tight encounter left to make it seven home wins on the spin for the champions. The Norwegian's fifth goal of the season also took the spotlight away from a quite bizarre VAR decision. Play was stopped shortly before half-time for a penalty check, for a shirt-pull on Kai Havertz by Nobel Mendy .
