Play by play
- 96'
FULL TIME That's it! Nicklas Bendtner's late, late goal settles the game in favour of Arsenal, and they go joint top with Chelsea. What a finish. Myhill was culpable for the goal and Hull probably deserved a point after playing so well following the dismissal of Boateng.
- 96'
Kilbane has a long throw late on, but Arsenal clear.
- 96'
Bendtner gives possession away with a listless pass and Arsenal have seconds to hold on now.
- 95'
If Bendtner scores the winner tonight, imagine how big his head will be. It's a great week for the Dane though after his hat-trick against Porto.
- 94'
Arsenal left it late against Stoke as well and this could be a huge result in the title race if Arsenal can hang on.
- 94'
Denilson blasts a shot from all of 30 yards and Myhill flaps at it, allowing Bendtner to turn home the rebound. I'm afraid that was poor goalkeeping.
- 93'
GOAL! Bendtner scores a late, late winner.
- 93'
Clichy tests Myhill with an effort from the edge of the box and despite a lack of practice throughout the half, the goalkeeper gathers with ease.
- 92'
Arsenal continue to take the aerial route by looking to find Bendtner, with the away side faced with a wall of gold shirts.
- 91'
We will have six minutes of injury time, largely due to the injury suffered by Zayatte.
- 90'
Arshavin swings it in from the right and Myhill punches clear. Walcott picks up the loose ball but his cross doesn't find a red shirt.
- 90'
Corner to Arsenal...
- 90'
Campbell charges down a shot from Marney as Hull look for a late winner.
- 89'
Arsenal are starting to hit it long, which is never a good sign for the London side. Just a few minutes left including injury time.
- 88'
Bendtner falls over in the box and is in fact penalised for a foul on Mendy. This is getting desperate for Arsenal now.
- 86'
Arsenal attempt to launch a counter-attack from a Hull corner but it loses all momentum when Bendtner floats a pass out to the right, allowing Marney to intercept and clear.
- 86'
In the last ten minutes of Premier League games this season, Hull have conceded the most goals and Arsenal have scored the most. Interesting.
- 85'
Eduardo releases Walcott with a stunning through-ball but Cooper anticipates it and produces a brilliant interception. Fine football all round.
- 84'
Arshavin attempts to go it alone instead of finding a team-mate and loses possession. Myhill has hardly had a save to make in the second half. This could be the day on which Arsenal's title challenge died.
- 83'
The Tigers make a change as Kevin Kilbane replaces Jozy Altidore. Clearly Hull will be happy with a point now, and they deserve one having produced a resolute performance with ten men.
- 82'
Kamil Zayatte has appeared on crutches and initial reports suggest he could miss the remainder of the season. That is bad news for Hull.
- 82'
Bendtner swings in a cross from the right and when Arshavin cuts the ball back for Walcott, the England international can only stick out a leg and send his shot wide.
- 80'
Arsenal work it well around the box and when Walcott feeds Bendtner, he takes ages to line up a shot, allowing Cooper to get a block in. That should have been a goal.
- 78'
Bendtner charges onto a fine cross-field pass from Eduardo but Mendy does superbly to deal with the danger and a goal-kick is awarded.
- 77'
Walcott races onto a lovely pass from Arshavin but takes the wrong option and skims it along the ground instead of cutting back for Bendtner. Mendy intercepts and boots the ball clean out of the ground.
