With the league leaders squaring off against the newly promoted Tigers, we look at the main talking points from the midweek encounter
Arsenal can show their resilient side when needed
With the 2-0 scoreline looking pretty flattering for the visitors, Arsenal breezed past Hull with minimal fuss, as Nicklas Bendtner giving the Gunners an early lead before Mesut Ozil finished it off around the hour mark. Arsenal weren’t at their best but with the negative, defensive style of their opposition, they didn’t have to be. They took both of their best chances and that’s all that was needed. Resilience is a key part of any title chasing team, and with the Arsenal sides in the past few seasons often succumbing to smaller teams’ physical approach, it is not happening this season, and we may well see Arsenal in the same position come May.
