83
Substitution

82
Goal
The Gunners work the ball quickly from right to left and Van Persie's slide rule pass is collected by Samir Nasri, who drills his shot wide of Myhill and into the far corner.
79
Some clever passing for Arsenal gives Bendtner a shooting opportunity from a tight angle but his strong shot is parried clear by Myhill.

64
Hull have come back into this game a little bit and are starting to enjoy a lot more of the ball as Arsenal are pushed back into their own half.
61
Manucho is back on the field after receiving treatment but his eye has swollen badly and it will be interesting to see if he can finish the game - any other area of the pitch and that would surely have been a free kick

Manucho has a yard of space in the Arsenal box but after flicking the high-bouncing ball he is taken out by Johan Djourou, only for the referee to wave away the penalty appeals.
56
A rare foray into the Arsenal half leads to a free kick in an attacking position for Hull but the delivery is poor and the Gunners easily clear.
53
Substitution
It has been all Arsenal and so it is no surprise to see Hull make a change as Peter Halmosi makes way for new loan signing Goncalves Manucho.
51
The Gunners look to have the bit between their teeth and Emmanuel Adebayor shows quick feet to free up some space in the box, but he shoots straight at Boaz Myhill.
49
Robin Van Persie looks to have got the better of his marker, who takes a tumble, but the referee blows his whistle before the Dutch ace can pull the trigger.
