Arsenal secured a comfortable 4-1 win over Hull City at the KCOM Stadium in a game full of drama including a red card, a penalty miss and a 35-yard screamer to cap things off. Arsene Wenger’s side secured their third consecutive win of the season to jump to third place in the league table, while Hull dropped to 10th.
Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 17th minute when he got a touch on Alex Iwobi’s goal-bound shot. Jake Livermore was sent off for a handball inside the box in the 40th minute and Sanchez’s tame shot from the resulting spot kick was saved by Eldin Jakupovic.
Theo Walcott doubled his side’s lead in the 55th minute, chipping the Hull City shot-stopper from close range, before Mike Phelan’s side pulled one back through Robert Snodgrass, who converted from the spot after Petr Cech fouled Dieumerci Mbokani. Sanchez then scored his second of the night in the 83rd minute before substitute Granit Xhaka scored his first goal for Arsenal – finding the back of the net from all of 35 yards in injury time.
