๐ Key points
โ
Arsenal beat Hull City 1-0 at home on Saturday.
โฝ Odegaard scored the winner on 72 minutes.
๐ฉ The referee confirmed a foul on Havertz but gave Hull a free kick for offside.
๐๏ธ Arteta said Arsenal should stop chasing the perfect goal and be more chaotic.
๐ What happened
๐ฏ Hull keeper Konstantinos Tzolakis parried Noni Madueke's drive and Odegaard reacted quickest to tuck in the rebound. It was his fifth goal of the season.
๐บ Before half-time Nobel Mendy pulled Kai Havertz's shirt. Referee Farai Hallam checked the monitor, confirmed the foul, then ruled Havertz offside and awarded Hull a free kick.
๐ฃ๏ธ Arteta said his analyst told him it was a clear penalty and that he did not know the interpretation. He also said Arsenal were trying to score a perfect goal against low blocks.
๐ By the numbers
โข Arsenal: nine wins and one defeat from 10 games, 27 points.
โข Nine wins from 10 equals their best-ever start.
โข Seventh consecutive home win.
โข Eight one-goal wins in all competitions this season.
๐ญ Why it matters
