Hull City 1-3 Arsenal

BBC said:

Arsenal had to overcome a spirited fightback from Hull to keep up the pressure on the Premier League's top four with victory at the KC Stadium.

An Emmanuel Adebayor header opened the scoring from a corner seconds after a Robin van Persie free-kick hit the bar.

But Hull roared back with Daniel Cousin nodding in Bernard Mendy's cross.

The Gunners grabbed all three points as Samir Nasri coolly slotted in Van Persie's pass and Nicklas Bendtner poked in from close range at the end.

With Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa all winning earlier in the day, Arsenal would have been desperate to keep the heat on the Premier League front-runners and they named an unchanged side after beating Bolton last week.

But it was Hull, on the hunt for a shock double over Arsene Wenger's men and an upturn in fortunes following four straight league defeats, who started the stronger with Geovanni scuffing a shot after two minutes.

For all of Arsenal's short passes and delicate trickery they created little in the opening 20 minutes with new signing Kevin Kilbane marshalling the Hull defence well.

I didn't think we were going to come back. Perhaps we will play better for the rest of the season. First place, here we come.
