Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Hull City at Emirates Stadium on 7 November 2026, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League. The only goal came in the second half when Martin Odegaard tapped in a rebound after Noni Madueke's shot was parried by Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.
Arsenal dominated but were frustrated by a stubborn Hull defence until Odegaard's intervention. The Gunners had a penalty claim turned down after Kai Havertz went down under a challenge from Nobel Mendy, with VAR ruling the forward offside.
