Arsenal 1-0 Hull analysis: Win means penalty drama can be overlooked

Arsenal have a 100% record at home in the Premier League this season [Getty Images]Arsenal showed their champion mentality on Saturday to keep coming at Hull despite initially struggling to create chances.Things could have felt very different if Martin Odegaard had not have swept home his winner though.Mikel Arteta's team had had a penalty shout turned down in the first period after Kai Havertz's shirt was pulled in the box by Nobel Mendy.The decision was not given on the field although the Video Assistant Referee told referee Farai Hallam to look at the pitchside monitor.Hallam then informed the crowd Havertz had been fouled, but no penalty would be awarded as the forward had been in an offside position.Similar to an incident in their win over Liverpool last week in which Jurrien Timber pulled Alexander Isak's shirt but the Reds were denied a penalty, the decision may have been headline news if Odegaard had not gone on to net the winner.Instead Arsenal celebrated their ninth win in 11 matches and extended their unbeaten home run in all competitions to 11 games.
