Another 1-0 for relentless Arsenal - but did Odegaard spare VAR blushes?

What the report says

Arsenal moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 home win over Hull City, maintaining their strong early-season form under Mikel Arteta. Martin Odegaard scored the only goal with a close-range finish in the 72nd minute, giving Arsenal a fourth straight league victory and extending their run of narrow wins. The result also meant Arsenal went into the international break as league leaders, with 27 points from 10 matches matching their best start under Arteta.

BBC Sport reported that the match was overshadowed for a time by a first-half VAR controversy. Referee Farai Hallam was sent to the pitchside monitor after a shirt pull on Kai Havertz, and a penalty initially seemed likely. Instead, the decision was overturned because Havertz was judged to be offside, denying Arsenal a spot-kick and prompting debate about how the law should be applied in similar situations.

The article said Arsenal have now won 10 home games in a row in all competitions and kept eight clean sheets in that span. It also noted that, despite their results, Arteta’s side are still searching for greater attacking fluency and have not scored more than twice in a league game since the opening weekend. That makes their defensive record especially important as they continue to set the pace in the title race.
