Arsenal 3 - 1 Hull

Alexis Sanchez scored twice and Aaron Ramsey once as Arsenal raced ahead before Stephen Quinn lifted local spirits when he pulled one back early in the second half. This wins gives Arsenal a firm grip on Second position 

There was also firm evidence from Arsene Wenger’s team to support those who had sang ‘Boring, boring Chelsea’ during a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium eight days earlier.
