Hull started their first Premier League campaign in 10 years with two wins from two, but, by losing 1-0 to Arsenal on Saturday, have failed to record a victory in eight league games since.

Sergej Jakirovic's side competed with the champions for much of the match and had a chance to take the lead early on when Elliot Stroud's strike from a tight angle was well saved by David Raya.

The visitors tried to push for a late leveller but Arsenal always looked comfortable after going in front.

Hull may not have been able to replicate their shock 2-1 win at Arsenal from 2008, but this performance will at least give Jakirovic confidence his side can compete with the top flight's best.

Even so, this loss means the Tigers, who are four points above the relegation zone, are now winless across their past 15 meetings with Arsenal.
