Arsenal equalled their best start to a Premier League season by beating Hull City 1-0 on Saturday. The reigning champions scored the only goal in the 72nd minute through captain Martin Ødegaard, according to Daily Post Nigeria.

Arsenal beat Hull City 1-0 on Saturday to equal their best-ever start in Premier League history, reports Daily Post. The champions had to wait until the 72nd minute to break the deadlock in a match they had largely dominated.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard took advantage of a poorly cleared ball to score the decisive goal against Hull City, who were promoted to the Premier League this season, according to Daily Post.

The victory came on 7 November, the same day as the article about Arsenal’s bid to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League. It also came after Tottenham’s defeats at Leeds and Manchester City’s defeat at Nottingham, announced the same day.
