Arsenal 2 - 0 Hull City

A brace from Alexis was enough to give us a much-needed three points.

After an enterprising opening half hour, the Chilean broke the deadlock with his 16th Premier League goal of the season.

Kieran Gibbs saw his low shot cleared off the line, but Alexis tucked home from close range, even if it did appear to bounce in off his hand.

Both sides had decent chances in an entertaining match, and Petr Cech denied Oumar Niasse in each half to preserve the lead.

The points weren't safe until virtually the last kick of the game. Alexis stroked home his penalty after Sam Clucas had handled Lucas's goalbound shot on the line.

It took his tally to 19 overall this season, and ensured the Gunners could put a troubled week behind them.
