Arsenal move six points clear at the top of the Premier League after beating Hull City - but did Martin Odegaard's goal save the blushes of the VAR?

Arsenal's 1-0 win over Hull City may seem like a routine victory, but it highlights the team's relentless pursuit of the top spot in the Premier League. With this win, they now lead by six points, putting significant pressure on their competitors. The fact that they can grind out a win against a lower-ranked team like Hull City showcases their depth and resilience.

The controversy surrounding Martin Odegaard's goal that sealed the win cannot be ignored. The VAR officials were once again under scrutiny, and Odegaard's goal may have saved them from embarrassment.

As the Premier League continues to rely on VAR, teams and fans will be watching closely to see how it impacts the outcome of matches.

What's next to watch is how Arsenal responds to this increased pressure at the top of the table. They face a tough run of fixtures in the coming weeks, which will test their squad and their resolve. Meanwhile, the VAR controversy will likely continue to simmer, with fans and pundits alike calling for greater transparency and accountability from the officials. As the season enters its crucial phase, all eyes will be on Arsenal and the VAR system to see how they perform under pressure.
