Premier League 2026-27: Odegaard fires Arsenal six points clear with narrow win over Hull City

CHENNAI Arsenal extended its lead at the top of the Premier League standings to six points after captain Martin Odegaard scored the only goal in a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The defending champion struggled to break down a disciplined Hull defence before Odegaard struck in the 72nd minute to secure Mikel Arteta’s side its sixth league victory by a single-goal margin this season. The result took Arsenal to 27 points from 10 matches, six ahead of second-placed Manchester City, which was scheduled to face Nottingham Forest later on Saturday.
