Martin Ødegaard extends Arsenal lead at top with winner to break Hull resistance

As most Arsenal supporters would testify, patience is a virtue. They needed plenty during the 22-year wait to be crowned Premier League champions and Mikel Arteta’s side certainly had to retain their composure as they tried to break down a dogged Hull side. They had not beaten Arsenal in 14 attempts since winning on their first visit to this ground in 2008. But with 20 minutes still to play, there was still every chance that Sergej Jakirovic’s team could have pulled off one of the shocks of the season.
